Jennifer was nominated by a patient for her dedication and extraordinary compassion.
A comment from her patient said, “I want to recognize Jennifer, one of the most extraordinary nurses and people I've ever met. Her kindness, advocacy, and humanity truly stood out. She took the time to get to know me, made sure my concerns were heard,and even pushed for additional testing that ultimately helped clarify my diagnosis. I am deeply grateful for her persistence and care.
What touched me the most was what Jennifer did for another patient. On her day off, she came back to check on me and another patient. She told me he reminded her of the man in the movie "UP". Wanting to bring comfort and a bit of joy, she brought in balloons and tied them to his bed. That small act of love must've meant the world to his family. It certainly meant the world to me to witness that kind of heart.
Jennifer embodies the spirit of the DAISY Award, and this recognition is well deserved for the incredible care she provides every day."
