The following DAISY Award recipients were celebrated recently for the compassionate care they provide to patients and loved ones. Learn more about each recipient through excerpts from their nominations, which were submitted by patients.

Jennifer O’Sullivan, RN, Braunwald Tower 8AB

“Her first smile, our first conversation was the beginning of me believing mentally I was going to survive this ordeal. Jenn held my hand when I needed to cry. Got me up to walk (with her) to get me moving. Kept me entertained with stories of her two little ones. She was literally a lifeline in this new world I didn’t even begin to understand how to navigate. Her empathy, kindness and compassion, especially when I was simply just mad at the world and not an easy person to be around, deserves its own stand-out award.”

Meaghan Lenane, BSN, RN, Braunwald Tower 14CD 

“Meg is truly a lovely and compassionate person. Being a nurse is not just a job for her. She really cares about the well-being of her patients. Meg has helped make my stay so much more comfortable than I had expected…. Meg was so incredibly kind and understanding of my situation without being judgmental. It truly came from a place of compassion at a time when I needed it the most. She always made a point to check on me and ask if I felt safe. And that meant a lot to me.”
