Daisy Awards
Chris Holmes, LPN
Chris personifies caring. His smile is infectious. Even if you’re not well, it’s hard not to return the smile. And his offer to help is so sincere. You are most often stressed to the max in a hospital situation — I think most everyone would agree. It’s not where you would go to relax. A solid night’s sleep is impossible to achieve. You can be worried or in pain but when that smile enters the room, it’s like sunshine. Bring on that infection — that Chris Holmes.
Thank you, Chris!
The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day.
The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the autoFimmune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way. Please say thank you by sharing your story of how a nurse made a difference you will never forget!
