As I watched Nurse Kasey during our twelve-hour stay in the Emergency Department, she was a go-getter, almost running everywhere that she went! Her bedside manner is excellent, and that is lacking in today’s hospital. Kasey treated my aunt with the utmost respect in every detail and worked tirelessly to get my aunt what she needed and even more, trying to get her MRI scheduled in a timely manner. I can’t say enough good things about this young lady! She makes the Energizer Bunny look like he is walking!

Kasey Jusino is one of a kind. In a fast-paced, high-acuity emergency department, Kasey Jusino demonstrated a compassionate, reassuring presence that made all the difference for both the patient and the family. Kasey truly does put the patient first and exemplifies everything the DAISY Award represents-clinical excellence, extraordinary compassion, and meaningful human connection in healthcare. It is with sincere gratitude that I nominate Kasey Jusino for this well-deserved recognition.
