Diana Oakley was nominated by a patient who complimented her for providing exceptional care and giving back to the community.
"Diana has always shown trusted compassionate care. She always greets you with a warm smile and shows an interest in the patient and the entire family. She treats the symptoms, but also treats her patients with respect and forges relationships that can't be beat. If there's something that she can't treat, she uses her resources to the fullest to see that the patient has the care they deserve."
Diana was also complimented her for supporting the Casey school system by donating her time to provide sports physicals to area athletes. The money raised is donated back to the Casey-Westfield athletic department to support its sports programs.
Oakley said she was surprised, but delighted to receive the award during a special presentation by SBL nursing leaders and colleagues. "It was even better when I learned the nomination came from one of my patients," she said. "I could not accomplish what I do without the help and dedication from all of the staff in the Casey Clinic.
