Cindy Lebel, RN, is July’s DAISY Award winner!

Congratulations to Cindy Lebel, RN, Staffing Office Nursing Supervisor, for being our newest DAISY Award winner! We are so proud of her accomplishments by going above and beyond to provide exceptional care to our patients. Cindy is highly regarded by both our patients and her colleagues. Her nomination from one of our patients is as follows:

‘Cindy is amazing--not only was she kind but caring as well. She made me feel comfortable and was very informative. She took her time and explained everything. Cindy also took the time to explain to the new nurse about the colors of the needle gauges. I had a hard life but my nurses made me feel comfortable and safe, and it is very important to me to feel safe. Cindy’s actions, even when small, made a big difference in my and other patient’s lives. There has been many times I haven’t felt safe or comfortable but Cindy’s interaction was so real I felt so safe. She cared and listened to me about my pain. Cindy made a big difference and I thank her for that!’ Congratulations Cindy!

The Diseases Attacking the Immune System (DAISY) Foundation was formed in November 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of an autoimmune disease at the age of 33. The Barnes family were deeply touched by the kind and compassionate nursing care Patrick received they established the DAISY Award in Patrick’s honor and memory.
