Both my spouse and I have had the good fortune of being in the healthcare profession—both clinically and commercially—since 1969. However, when we experience an outstanding healthcare professional, I feel compelled to advise their leaders on what a positive impact their care has been in our lives. Since being referred to the Mercy Cardiology group, we've experienced tremendous care from Jonathon Spikes. He demonstrates the highest level of professionalism and lives by the high healthcare standards of Mercy Healthcare. Jonathon is truly a role model for future nurses and care providers. If Mercy has an award for exemplary performance, please consider him. My experience in healthcare is global, spanning both civilian and military settings. Jonathon is the GOAT.

These powerful words reflect the extraordinary impact Johnathon has on those he serves—his skill, compassion, professionalism, and genuine dedication to the Mercy mission. He represents the very best of nursing and embodies everything the DAISY Award stands for.
