Jonathan was there immediately, along with the crash team of 20, to save his life.
This young man is so caring and gentle, explains things softly, and checks on us constantly! Very professional and compassionate. Always asked mom how she was even took time to listen to me during a difficult time.

After a week of special care and kindness and support with all his excellent care, five minutes prior to discharge, he crashed due to a blood clot bursting in an ulcer that was an artery bleed. I yelled "help," and Jonathan was there immediately, along with the crash team of 20, to save his life. Jonathan kept him calm by gently calling his name and focusing him on breathing, even as he was going in and out of consciousness. He is an extraordinary nurse and is respected by all of his co-workers. He deserves the DAISY Award.

These powerful words reflect not only Jonathan’s clinical excellence but the deep compassion and humanity he brings to every patient. He is a shining example of what the DAISY Award represents, and we are proud to celebrate his extraordinary care today. Join me in celebrating Jonathan Gonzalez for our next DAISY Award.
