Coffee Regional Medical Center has named Susan Clement, RN, as the DAISY Award winner for the first quarter of the year.
Susan is a registered nurse in the Women’s Health Unit and was nominated by a patient. Her nomination stated, “She was my main RN. After losing a child two years ago, it took me to a dark place. I was scared to be here. She went above and beyond to make me feel loved and at home. She went out of her way for my family as well. She motivated me, and I felt safe. God is within her and her abilities as a nurse. Please consider my thoughts on her because she deserves it.”
Coffee Regional Medical Center would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Susan and all the nominees. CRMC is grateful to have such an incredible team of caregivers dedicated to caring for the community. Thank you for all you do daily to care for patients (and each other) while staying true to CRMC’s purpose — To Serve, To Heal, To Save.
Created in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, the DAISY Foundation honors nurses internationally. Mr. Barnes’s family was positively impacted by the nurses who skillfully and compassionately cared for Patrick during his eight-week hospitalization for a critical illness.
Unfortunately, Mr. Barnes did not survive his illness; however, the nursing care he received when hospitalized profoundly touched his family. The Barnes family wanted a way to honor Patrick and chose to recognize nurses everywhere for their dedication. The DAISY Foundation has been utilized by over 4,500 healthcare facilities and nursing schools in the U.S. and worldwide.
Anyone may nominate nurses, including those outside the organization – patients, family members, and those inside the organization: other nurses, physicians, and other clinicians and staff – anyone who experiences or observes extraordinary and compassionate care.
