Daisy Awards
Rasheeda Slate
“I went to the Walk-In Clinic after feeling ill. While the pandemic is going on I was a little anxious and worried. Rasheeda Slate was able to keep me cool, calm, and collected throughout the process and kept me informed on what was going on. Rasheeda made what was a very uncomfortable situation for me into a pleasant experience. While this was not a life-threatening situation that sort of patient care should not go unnoticed. Rasheeda inspires excellence everyday.”
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!
