Dennis receives a DAISY Award

Dennis received a DAISY Award! He received many DAISY Award nominations for his impact on patients and staff alike.

One patient shared, “Dennis greeted me as soon as I arrived. He helped me transfer to my bed and ensured everything was set up properly. He warmly and joyfully introduced himself and made me feel relaxed after my injury and surgery prep. He reviewed my care plan and answered my concerns. For anyone who has stayed at a hospital and felt humiliated during a restroom visit, that was not the case with Dennis. He made the situation feel normal and even a little humorous. He didn’t stop there; he took it to another level, getting me a warm washcloth and making me feel clean and refreshed. My family members spent a lot of time with me, and I often mentioned things I wanted or needed, but before they could get anything for me, Dennis would come in with whatever I needed. I wondered if it was just me he treated this way, but oh, no. My family said they noticed he was this way with all his patients. When we asked him questions, he never said, ‘I don’t know.’ Instead, he said, ‘Let me find out and get back to you.” And he did. Every single time. He would straighten things up whenever I was out of bed, which always meant a lot, and whenever he walked by a room he would pop his head in and ask in a cheerful voice if there was anything he could do. You could feel his compassion for his patients and dedication to his profession.”

One of Dennis’ team members added, “Dennis received multiple DAISY Award nominations every month. He truly made a difference at this facility and in the lives of his patients.”

Congratulations on the well-deserved award, Dennis! Your quality care and dedication to your profession make a difference for your patients and team members.
