Taylor Snyder has been named Banner Churchill Community Hospital’s latest DAISY Award recipient, an honor recognizing nurses who go above and beyond to provide patients and families with compassion and clinical care.
Snyder was nominated by a patient who credited her with providing exceptional care during a hospital stay involving heart problems and extreme pain. In the nomination, the patient described Snyder as attentive, compassionate, and present throughout the night. “She was always right there, anticipating my next need before I even had to ask,” the patient said. “Even though I know she was busy, she never acted rushed. She sat with me, comforted me, and cared for me as if I were her own family.”
The DAISY Award is an international recognition program established by the DAISY Foundation to honor nurses for extraordinary compassion and clinical excellence. According to the foundation, awards are based on nominations submitted by patients, families, and colleagues who wish to recognize nurses for the difference they make at the bedside.
DAISY Honorees are celebrated by receiving a certificate in a DAISY portfolio, an honoree pin, a congratulations banner to hang in the unit, a copy of their nomination, and a hand-carved “Healer’s Touch Sculpture” from Zimbabwe. The Honoree is also added to the DAISY Foundation website, after which they are eligible for professional development, education, and wellness benefits.
Banner Churchill Community Hospital congratulated Snyder on the honor and thanked her for the compassion and dedication she brings to her work every day. The hospital stated, “Taylor, your dedication to providing compassionate care embodies the very best of nursing and the Banner Health mission. Thank you for making health care easier and life better for those in your care.”
