On Feb 9, Swedish Hospital (Cherry Hill campus) honored 22 nurses with the DAISY Award for the extraordinary care they have given to patients.

Five nurses who work at the Swedish Ballard campus were nominated by their patients, patient’s families and colleagues including: Sherry Collins, RN; Feven Jembere, RN; Maryann Parris, RN; Meredith Roe, RN; and Rebecca Swanson, RN.

The recipients were honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national program that recognizes nurses who provide the best patient care, supported by UnitedHealthcare.

Nurses are nominated by their patients, families, and colleagues to receive The DAISY Award.  The honorees receive a certificate that reads: “In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people.”  The honorees are also given a sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.
