Congratulations to Sara M., who recently received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! 🌼 Here is an excerpt from her nomination: "My young family member was diagnosed with a blood condition after completing her sports season. As a healthy teen, we were in shock and terrified. After a procedure, my family member was admitted. On their first day post-procedure, Sara was our nurse, and she immediately eased our fears. As a fellow ICU nurse, I had high standards, but Sara's kindness and thorough care allowed me to focus on being a mom. She advocated for my family member and patiently managed her anxiety. She understood when to push and when to offer choices, helping my family member regain some control during a very difficult time. Sara's care went beyond physical health—she made sure my family member had kid-friendly activities and resources to ease the stress of the situation. Her compassion and dedication made all the difference during this scary experience." Mayo Clinic is among over 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide committed to the DAISY Award program. The DAISY Award is presented each month to an extraordinary nurse.⁠ ⁠If you know someone looking for a career in nursing, explore available opportunities at Mayo Clinic: https://mayocl.in/3BzlLSM

From diagnosis to hospice, the needs of patients with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, are constantly evolving. The ALS Clinic team at Mayo Clinic is there every step of the way, working together to enhance quality of life and help patients continue doing what they love, even when facing tough challenges. For one patient, this meant finding a way to enjoy his favorite foods despite difficulty swallowing. As Mallory Riggs, a swallow specialist, said, "If he wanted to eat something, he was going to find a way." Through creative problem-solving, this team collaborates across specialties — from dietitians to speech pathologists — to help patients live life on their terms. Whether it's helping patients safely enjoy meals, supporting communication tools, or addressing complex care needs, the goal is to maximize independence and dignity.

Preventative measures to counteract frailty include maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity and staying socially active. Learn more: https://mayocl.in/3XLPXBA
