01/21/2020 – Nurses at Bailey Medical Center are being honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses (r). The award is part of the Daisy Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate care nurses provide patients and families every day. Ardent Health Services co-sponsors the award at Bailey Medical Center.
The Daisy award recipient, Leslie Stelzer, RN, is the second BMC nurse to receive the award. She earned a nomination from a patient and his wife from The Kirk Center for Bariatrics where she is employed as a clinical nurse manager.
“Leslie was nominated by a patient and his wife for the amazing care she provided during his journey through our bariatric program,” said Ruby Triplett, chief nursing officer, Bailey Medical Center. “The patient attributes his post-op success to the kind attention and education that Leslie provided. Stories like this truly highlight what an extraordinary nurse Leslie is. I’m proud to work alongside her every day.”
Patients, families and colleagues may nominate nurses through a nomination form, which is available at Bailey Medical Center. The Daisy committee at the hospital chooses the award recipient, and awards are presented throughout the year at celebrations attended by the honoree’s colleagues, patients and visitors.
