Today, we are here to award an extraordinary nurse! It’s a true honor to recognize Iris Martinez as a DAISY Award recipient today. Iris is the kind of nurse who goes above and beyond every single day. Her outstanding bedside manner, clinical skill, and deep compassion set her apart. One family said it best when they shared how Iris cared for their sister in palliative care. They said she not only kept her comfortable and managed her pain, but she also brought light back into their sister’s eyes. Her quick thinking, her knowledge, and her kind heart gave the family peace of mind—so much so that they could go home each day knowing their sister was in good hands. Iris, your care touches lives in ways words can’t fully express. Thank you for all you do. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor!
