Patricia Madrigal, registered nurse on of our medical floors, is the latest recipient of the DAISY award at Kadlec. Patricia was nominated by a patient’s spouse who wrote: "The nurse was not only professional concerning my husband’s care, but also asked about my needs as his spouse. When he ordered dinner, the nurse asked if I was hungry. Rather than me having to leave and get something, the nurse brought me a salad and bottled water from their resources. The nurse also made sure I was comfortable and had all the bedding I needed for sleeping in the room overnight.” She goes on to further describe how Patricia went above and beyond to help her. "This nurse’s wonderful care during our 2-day hospital stay was exceptional. This nurse has a huge heart and should be recognized for their professionalism, as well as their devotion to patients and their family." Congratulations, Patricia! 💙 💛 The DAISY award was created by The DAISY Foundation to recognize the clinical skills, extraordinary compassion and care exhibited by nurses every day.
