From the start, Cassandra Fangio has combined clinical expertise with a natural ability to connect with others, making her both a trusted resource and a supportive colleague. She took on EKG remediation, creating sessions that built confidence and strengthened patient care. 

She consistently contributes to the team, offering ideas that streamline processes and improve teamwork. Observant and solution-focused, she quickly identifies challenges and works collaboratively to resolve them. One of her most meaningful contributions is the “Smoke Signal” initiative for nurses newly off orientation. By developing a QR code system that connects staff instantly with a mentor or educator, she created a simple yet powerful way to support nurses during a vulnerable transition. 

This program reflects her leadership, innovation, and genuine care for others’ growth and well-being. Approachable, encouraging, and quick to lend a hand, she lifts the team with her humor and steady presence. She exemplifies the DAISY spirit through her leadership, compassion, and commitment to supporting both patients and peers.
