2024 Winner: Bradley Robinson, RN, Paramedic
Our 7th annual DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses goes to Bradley Robinson, RN/Paramedic! Bradley works in the Emergency Department and has been with WNH since March 2023.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses® is part of the DAISY Foundation's mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate care nurses provide patients and families every day. Bradley's nomination states, "While my wife was in the ER, this guy went out of his way to help. He was so courteous, helpful, pleasant, understanding. With his understanding, I'm sure he will go a long way. With the world had more Bradleys. Thankful for him and your hospital."
Bradley was surprised by his family who visited our campus to help present the award, along with the WNH senior administration team and QI Manager Tonya Gibson. While receiving the recognition, Bradley signed a traveling DAISY Award banner that will be displayed in the ER for the rest of the year.
Thank you, Bradley, for your commitment to caring for your patients and providing compassionate care.
