HaysMed Nurse Recognized with Daisy Award

Hays, KS –Mallory McQueen, RN, Progressive Care Unit, was recently recognized as a Daisy Award winner at HaysMed.  This award is presented to a nurse in deep appreciation of all that they do, who they are, and the incredible meaningful difference that they have made in the lives of so many people.  McQueen was nominated by four family members of one of her patients.

McQueen was selected from a group of blinded nominations voted on by the HaysMed Practice Committee.  The Practice Committee consists of nursing staff, supervisors, and directors from HaysMed.  Nominations are received from patients and family members, physicians, volunteers, and Associates for nurses in inpatient, outpatient, and clinic settings.

“We are proud to be among the hospital systems participating in The DAISY Award program,” said Terry Siek, VP of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer at HaysMed.  “Nurses are heroes every day. It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides another way for us to do that.”

The DAISY Award is an international 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 one of our nurses with this special honor every quarter.
