Methodist Fayette Hospital Associate wins DAISY Award
Mary Priest, Methodist Fayette Hospital registered nurse, was recently recognized as the 2014 first quarter DAISY award winner. She was selected by the Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare Nursing Awards & Recognition Committee for her clinical competence and the compassionate care she gives to patients.
In addition to being recognized at Methodist Fayette, she received a certificate, DAISY award pin, and hand-carved stone sculpture entitled, “A Healer’s Touch.”
The DAISY Foundation, which sponsors the award, was established in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died of complications of an auto-immune disease at the age of 33. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. His family was so appreciative of the care their son received during his hospital stay that they decided to create a foundation in his honor to recognize extraordinary nurses who make a difference in the lives of their patients.
The DAISY Awards are made possible with the strong support provided by UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) company that has donated more than $84,000 to The DAISY Foundation since 2006. Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare joins 58 other hospitals where The DAISY Award is sponsored by UnitedHealthcare.
