WinnMed has awarded Medical/Surgical (Med/Surg) RN, Scott Nordschow, the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, recognizing the knowledgeable and compassionate care he provides to his patients.
Scott was nominated by the family of a patient for his ability to provide personalized and empathetic care. The family praised Scott for his patience, understanding, and clear communication, ensuring the patient felt comfortable and informed throughout his stay. Scott’s skillful use of techniques to provide pain-free care was particularly noted, showcasing his expertise and gentle approach. The family says, “Overall, the compassion, empathy and care that Scott provided was exceptional. He deserves recognition for his outstanding nursing care!” Scott has served as a registered nurse at WinnMed since 2022.
The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful care nurses provide every day. The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way.
