Alan consistently demonstrates the core values of collaboration, respect, and compassion in every aspect of his nursing care.

Collaboration: Alan is a true team player. He coordinated seamlessly with multiple providers during my stay, ensuring my care was clear, consistent, and patient-focused. He helped me and my advocate understand complex medical information and even located a rare ophthalmic device for a visiting physician- ultimately arranging an external specialist visit when the device couldn't be safely used.

Respect: Alan treats every patient with dignity. Although not assigned to my roommate, he checked on her regularly, offering comfort and assistance. His consistent attention to both assigned and unassigned patients demonstrated genuine respect for every individual.

Compassion: Alan leads with empathy. Whether standing quietly by my bedside while I cried or joking with me to lift my spirits, he met me where I was emotionally each day. He gave up his turn on the staff massage chair so a more fatigued colleague could use it. His kindness reflects the heart of HonorHealth's Mission.

Conclusion: Alan, exemplifies what it means to be a nurse. He is dedicated to collaborative teamwork, unwavering respect for all, and heartfelt compassion, which makes him not only an extraordinary nurse but also a living embodiment of HonorHealth John C Lincolns Mission and Vision. I wholeheartedly recommend him for the DAISY Award in recognition of his extraordinary care and embodiment of the core values of HonorHealth John C Lincoln Medical Center.
