Congratulations to Michael Norwood, our August DAISY Award recipient for extraordinary nursing! 🎉🌼 He was nominated by a patient's granddaughter who shared a touching story of how he went above and beyond in providing not only exceptional care but also emotional support to their entire family. On one of the patient's most difficult days, Michael dimmed the lights, closed the shades, and gently sang “Amazing Grace” to calm her. This simple yet profound act of kindness brought peace to the patient and left a mark on the family. 🥺 Read more about this touching story ⬇️ https://hubs.la/Q02M5S4m0 A special thank you to our award sponsor, The Flower Gallery, for their generous donation of a beautiful arrangement of daisies! #remarkablepeople #extraordinarycare #humankindness #daisyaward

Shout out to our Emergency Department Express Care team at SGMC Health Main! 📣🏥 This team was tasked with providing another option within our ER for patients with non-emergent complaints. They implemented a special route during times when our ED is traditionally very busy so that these patients could still receive timely care. ⏱️ Since opening, the length of time for Express Care patients has shortened to less than two hours, and our patients are loving their results! 👏 "𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗚𝗠𝗖 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗥.
