Congratulations to Alyssa Lasek, RN, Jessica Roberts, RN and Dan Santoro, RN, the inaugural winners of our DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! These awards recognize nurses for the amazing efforts they perform every day. Alysssa, Jessica and Dan each received a hand carved statue, a framed certificate and scholarship opportunities for continued learning. Each of the winners were selected from a pool of nominations submitted by patients and/or family members then evaluated... by a group of peers from across the health system. We are so proud of every single one of our nurses, said Edna Dunn, interim chief nursing officer for MVHS. Each of the winners is so deserving of this honor for the extraordinary care, compassion and clinical excellence they demonstrate every day. Read the full story by visiting: http://ow.ly/Tw5q50F8Eir
