Tamara Scott, RN, inpatient clinical care coordinator for the Progressive Care Unit, became the 74th Blessing Hospital nurse to receive the international DAISY Award during a ceremony on July 28, 2022.
The staff of the Progressive Care Unit nominated Tamara saying, “Tamara Scott is the glue that holds our unit together. She is fondly known as the “Mother” of our unit. Tamara plans the day for the nurses and patients by notifying us of our potential transfers. Tamara has stayed late to assist nurses and CNAs on the unit.”
“And when a patient loves hot sauce and eats it on everything, she walks to the cafeteria and get the patient an abundance of hot sauce.”
“Thank you, Tamara, for all your hard work.”
DAISY stands for “Diseases Attacking the Immune System.” The family of a 33-year-old man, who died of an immune system disorder, began the program in 1999 to honor his memory by recognizing extraordinary nurses everywhere who make a difference in the lives of people by the work they do every day. More than 4,800 healthcare providers worldwide participate in the DAISY Award program.
DAISY award nomination forms are located on all nursing units throughout Blessing Hospital and on the internet at blessinghealth.org/recognize.
