Pullman Regional Hospital nurse receives DAISY recognition award
Pullman Regional Hospital nurse Kelsey Weiss received a DAISY Nurse Recognition Award for her work at the hospital. The DAISY award is part of an international program which recognizes nurses who go “above and beyond” with regard to care for patients. Weiss was nominated by a family member of one of her patients.
Weiss has worked at Pullman Regional Hospital for three years after graduating from nursing school. She is a nurse on the night shift and serves medical surgical patients.
DAISY stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, and was founded in memory of J. Patrick Barnes after he died in 1999. Barnes’ family established the award to thank nurses in a public way.
The award recognizes nurses who work to establish a connection with their patient and family, make the patient feel comfortable and deliver exemplary compassionate care. For more information about the DAISY award visit pullmanregional.org/daisy-award.
