First DAISY winner named at Merit Health Woman’s Hospital
6/1/2018
Merit Health Woman’s Hospital congratulates the first DAISY award winner, Jordan Sanford, RN.
Jordan has worked in Labor & Delivery since October 2017. She has been a nurse for three years and previously worked at sister hospital Merit Health Central in Jackson.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses was developed in memory of Patrick Barnes. Patrick suffered from the auto-immune disease, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, or ITP. His family was so impressed by the skill, caring and compassion his nurses gave him during his extended illness and multiple hospitalizations that they founded the DAISY Foundation and the award. DAISY stands for “diseases attacking the immune system."
