Nominated for multiple Daisy awards and received National Daisy Award twice.
In the past 14 years at University of Michigan Health West, I have received multiple Daisy nominations, and have been awarded the National Daisy award twice. It has been an honor to make a difference in my patient's lives and to be nominated by them tells me they feel cared for and safe. I love helping bring new lives into the world and helping parents learn to care for their infants. It has been my highest honor to serve.
