On July 21, Stephanie Isenberg, R.N., who works on the medical/surgical unit at Community Hospital North, was the first-ever Community North nurse to receive the DAISY Award. She was nominated by one of her patients.
The DAISY Award is part of a nationwide program that rewards and celebrates excellence in nursing. The award was presented during a ceremony at the end of July. As part of her award, Isenberg received:
- A beautiful certificate
- A DAISY Award pin
- A hand-carved stone sculpture titled A Healer’s Touch
- A 30-day fitness membership (provided by BodyZone fitness center)
- A Starbucks gift card (provided by GetWell Network)
- A parking pass (provided by safety and security)
- A complimentary meal (provided by food services).
Additionally, Isenberg’s unit will receive Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, with the sentiment that the aroma reminds them how special they are and now important their work is.
All nurses whose names were mentioned by patients will receive letters and pins to recognize their great care.
Community North’s participation in The DAISY Award program is generously sponsored by the Community Health Network Foundation.
