Three nurses at Franciscan Health Michigan City recently were honored by The DAISY Foundation as extraordinary nurses.
Nurses are nominated by patients and their families for the awards, which recognize nurses for the care they provide to patients.
Palliative care nurse Pollyanna McNeil, behavioral health nurse Leeane Bolton and registered nurse Patty Marsicek were presented with the awards.
McNeil was recognized her generosity and kindness to help fulfill a hospice patient’s final wish for a quart of his favorite buttermilk.
Bolton’s nomination by a patient with bipolar disorder praised her care, sense of humor and willingness to share her own life stories to help other patients. Marsicek’s nomination was from the wife of a colonoscopy patient who said she went above and beyond in caring for her husband.
