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 the most recent winner, Ashleigh Hix, RN. Ashleigh has been nominated by several of her patients at UAB St. Vincent’s East.
“From the time she walked in my dad’s room with her friendly, smiling, happy face, she brought a ray of hope to the room. She always made me that feel dad had a chance to pull through. If I could choose my dad’s nurse, I would choose Ashleigh.”
“Ashleigh was exceptional. She treated my mom with respect, love, and the utmost care.”
“My husband was hospitalized for 4 days, and the day we met Ashleigh, it was like she’d known us all along. She was not only attentive to my husband but checked on me as well. It’s so nice to have a nurse that’s going to spend her 12-hour shift with you take pride and truly enjoy her job. I think one of the most important things outside of medical knowledge is compassion and we are thankful for nurses like Ashleigh who care!”
