The Medical Care Unit was recently recognized with the Daisy Team award because of their professionalism and excellence in caring for our patients. This was the core team that set the COVID unit in the hospital and cared for many of the COVID patients that were hospitalized.    Each member of this team was able to provide compassion to our patients when families were not allowed to visit. They became everything to the patients including providing spirituality for those that requested it. Core nursing staff included Cole Reichert, Kesley Belzer, Alex Wilson, Brittany Engelhadt, and Sara Worcester with  Jessica House, CCR and Mackenzie Bear, PCT.  The team was organized and lead by Cammie Townley, RN.

HaysMed celebrated the beginning of National Nurses’ Week by dedicating this area and recognizing Omelia Klein, who was this quarter’s Daisy Award Winner. Thank you to all the nurses who do the work of caring for our patients and their family members in their hours of need.

The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses was presented on January 27, 2021 to Pedro Flores, RN, ICU in deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people. These are the two patient nominations that Pedro received:

“He was professional in his duties. His caring for me put my anxiety at ease. Pedro would check on me often and when he found out I liked to fish, he would relate his stories and make my time go by faster. He came in before leaving for the day to tell me good-bye because he was off the next couple of days. He was so sincere wishing me the best! I would recommend your hospital to anyone and mainly for my care by Pedro.”

“Pedro goes above and beyond making me feel cared for while I was there. Shows compassion and yet comes across with such professionalism. I felt my needs were being not only addressed but taken with great concern. Thank you, Pedro. Blessings to you and your workplace. Incredible person you have as an RN representing your hospital – HaysMed.”

CONGRATULATIONS, Pedro!!!
