Gretta receives a DAISY Award nomination

A patient’s family member nominated Gretta for a DAISY Award for affecting the trajectory of the patient’s care and being attentive to their feelings.

The family member wrote, “I am so thankful Gretta was my husband’s nurse. I believe she saved his life. He was improving but started becoming less and less responsive. Gretta very willingly went over all my husband’s medications with me. By afternoon, he started to come around, but she didn’t stop there. She arranged for an internal medicine team to check multiple things and they found another concern. After several days of antibiotics, he was able to move on to an inpatient rehabilitation facility and eventually home. She will always hold a special place in my heart for listening and caring!”

A well-deserved DAISY Award nomination, Gretta. Congratulations!
