DAISY LEADERSHIP HONOREES FY 2025 44

The DAISY Nurse Leader Award was created to shine a light on those who do not typically have direct
patient care as part of their work and those who create an environment where compassionate, skillful care
thrives. The demands on Nurse Leaders are different from patient care nurses:

They provide a haven of safety for staff, both physically and emotionally
They ensure standards of quality patient care are maintained
They ensure nurses have access to the technology and equipment they need – and the information
They manage human and financial resources across staffing, supplies, and more
They drive team development, resiliency, and competency, ensuring their team members are
meaningfully recognized for the work they do for patients and families
These leaders provide a setting where compassion is valued, and staff, in turn, treat patients and their
families with deep humanity

In FY25, the prestigious recognition of the DAISY Leader Award was presented to three of our outstanding
Nurse Leaders:

Yuwanna Nelson: Clinical Nursing Director of 7B
Carol George: Clinical Nursing Director ACS
Jill Gibbons: Nursing Services House Manager
