Read Time: 1 min

Congratulations to Kara DeVelvis, RN, a nurse on 6100 at Grandview Medical Center, for winning the hospital’s August DAISY Award!

The DAISY Award is given to nurses who demonstrate clinical skill and compassionate care. It was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of a disease attacking the immune system (DAISY). His family was awestruck by the care and compassion his nurses provided, so they established this award program. You can read Kara’s nomination story below:
