There are nurses who provide excellent care, and then there are those who go beyond anything you could expect. Savannah is one of those rare individuals whose presence brings calm to chaos, comfort to fear, and hope to uncertainty. As a NICU nurse, she has touched our lives in a way that words can scarcely describe.

Our journey in the NICU was one we never imagined. It was scary, overwhelming, and full of unknowns. From the very beginning, she stood out not just for her clinical expertise, which is remarkable, but for the compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication that she brought to every interaction. She took the time to explain each procedure, every monitor beep, and all the tiny milestones our baby was reaching. She never made us feel like just another case. Instead, we felt like family.

Her care extended beyond our baby. It extended to us as parents. In our most fragile moments, she reassured us, celebrated with us, and held space for us when the emotions were too much to bear. One moment that will stay with us forever was when our son had to go back for an unexpected surgery. She saw the tears on my face and provided such encouraging and firm words. She rearranged her schedule that day to be able to care for our baby after surgery. That is love! It was in those moments that we saw the true heart of her - a blend of skill and love.

Thanks to Savannah, our NICU experience, though filled with challenges, was also filled with light, love, and support. She exemplifies what it means to be a DAISY nurse: compassionate, committed, and truly extraordinary. We are forever grateful for the care she provided.
