FORT WAYNE – Nurses make a significant impact in the lives of patients and their families.
Lutheran Health Network (LHN) nurses go above and beyond to make a positive difference, according to a news release from LHN. The DAISY Award is one way to recognize exceptional care, compassion and dedication. Patients, families and colleagues may nominate nurses from any LHN hospital, urgent care clinic or Lutheran Health Physicians office for The DAISY Award.
At Kosciusko Community Hospital in Warsaw, Surgery Nurse Manager Paula Calhoun, RN, is the Nurse Leader Daisy Award winner.
The DAISY Foundation™ is a not-for-profit organization established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by his family. In late 1999, Patrick died at the age of 33 from complications of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this way of thanking those professionals for making a difference in the lives of their patients and their families.
