BROWARD HEALTH NORTH

Henry Herzog, RN

Henry Herzog, R.N., didn’t start his healthcare career as a
nurse. His first role at Broward Health North was as an X-ray
technician in the Operating and Emergency Departments.
In 2021, during the COVID pandemic, he became a nurse
and helped care for patients needing neurology, telemetry or
stroke care.
His commitment to patients was recently recognized by
the hospital’s leadership with a DAISY Award. The national
award celebrates nurses who demonstrate clinical excellence and extraordinary com-
passionate care.
“I am dedicated to helping people,” Herzog said. “I try to do everything I can to
make our patients feel safe. It’s important to me that I always strive to do better than
the previous day.”
Herzog, who now provides care in the Critical Care Unit, is already working on his
next professional goal to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

caring for complex cardiac patients.
West recently was lauded by one family for her compas-

mother about her condition so she would feel more open to deciding to allow a car-
