/in , , /by

HaysMed is proud to recognize Sheylynn Eickhoff, RN, of the HaysMed Birth Center, as the latest recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. This prestigious award celebrates nurses who go above and beyond in delivering compassionate, skillful, and patient-centered care.

Sheylynn was nominated by a grateful patient who shared the following:

“Although each and every nurse who took care of my daughter and I were amazing, I want to shout out Sheylynn in particular. I truly do not think I would have had the positive birth experience I did without her. Not only was she empathetic and attentive, but she empowered me to have the birth experience I desired. I have encountered so many wonderful nurses on this unit,  but her encouragement and kindness will forever stand out to me. My husband and I are so grateful for her care.”

“The DAISY Award is a meaningful way to recognize nurses who truly make a difference,” said Joben Rieth, Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer “Sheylynn exemplifies what it means to provide patient-centered care. She helps patients feel heard, supported, and confident throughout their care.”

Dr. Timothy Hoskins, OB/GYN at HaysMed, also praised Sheylynn’s impact, sharing, “Sheylynn is an exceptional nurse who creates a calm, supportive environment for families during one of life’s most important moments. Her ability to connect with patients and advocate for their needs makes her an invaluable part of our Birth Center team.”

The DAISY Award is an international program that recognizes the extraordinary clinical skills and compassionate care provided by nurses every day.

Hays, KS – Melissa Portenier, RN recently awarded the first Daisy Nurse Leader Award at HaysMed.  She was selected from a group of blinded nominations voted on by the HaysMed Administrative Team.  The Practice Committee consists of Staff and Supervisors from a variety of departments across HaysMed.  Nominations are received from patients and family members, physicians, volunteers, and Associates for nurses in inpatient, outpatient, and clinic settings.

“As the healthcare landscape becomes more complex, with increasing demands on Nurse Leaders, the Daisy Award recognizes those who create an environment of compassion and recognition for others.” Said Terry Siek, Vice President for Patient Care.  “They strongly deserve to be recognized themselves. The DAISY Award is a worldwide program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses every day. HaysMed is proud to be a DAISY Award Hospital Partner, recognizing our nurses with this honor.”

Melissa continues to go above and beyond for her staff and Hays Med.  Much like everyone else in the nation currently, we have been working with limited staff.  With the absence of several key nurses, Melissa knew that she was going to need to fill the void.  She continued to do her day-to-day supervisor duties as well as work as Charge Nurse for the OR front desk.

Nurse Leaders provide a haven of safety for staff, both physically and emotionally. In this environment, Nurses are inspired to do their very best by Nurse Leaders who role-model caring behaviors. These leaders provide a setting where compassion is valued, and staff, in turn, treat patients and their families with deep humanity.
