Announcing the DAISY Award recipient for May 2022 is Daisy Kinney, an LVN in Telemetry at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas!

Read on to see why one of our patients nominated Daisy for the award:

"Daisy was my nurse for a couple of weeks. She caught my vitals going down and called a rapid. I truly feel if she was not my nurse, I wouldn’t be here anymore. Although she is not my nurse anymore, she still comes and checks on me often. She offers to assist with anything I need even though she isn’t my nurse. I am very thankful to know how much she cares for me."

Once finished, the rebuilt facility will be the area’s first newly constructed hospital in over 25 years

Dr. Cindy John, a cardiologist with Steward Health Group, is passionate about helping her patients create habits for optimal heart health.

“Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States,” said Dr. John. “Every 36 seconds – in the time it takes for you to send a text message – someone dies from cardiovascular disease in this country.”

These facts have driven Dr. John to become a fierce advocate in the fight against heart disease, educating her patients on risk factors and preventative measures to keep their heart health in check.
