recognitions

"I’m incredibly honored to receive the Daisy Award, a recognition for compassion, clinical expertise, and personalized care. One night, during a routine audit, I discovered that a patient was actually a missing person from Mexico. That moment led to a quick reunion with his family—an experience I’ll never forget. Nursing is more than a profession; it’s about making a difference, one life at a time. Thank you to everyone who supports and inspires me on this journey!
