We are pleased to announce the most recent UAB St. Vincent’s DAISY Award, recognizing the extraordinary care and compassion that nurses provide for patients and families every day.
Congratulations to Angela Boyd, RN, for receiving the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurse Leaders. Angela is a nurse at UAB St. Vincent’s East.
Angela’s nominator praises her care for patients.
“Being in the hospital can be frightening and overwhelming, but from the moment Angela came into my room, I felt calmer and less alone. Her kindness, patience, and genuine compassion went far beyond what I expected. Whether it was taking extra time to explain things, checking in on how I was really feeling, or simply offering reassurance when I needed it most, Angela made a difficult experience much more bearable.
What stood out to me most was how much she truly cared – not just about my medical needs, but about me as a person! That level of empathy and dedication is something I will never forget, and it made a lasting impact on my recovery and my overall experience”.
