Danielle Anderegg, LPN
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses Recipient
Danielle Anderegg, LPN, was recently honored as The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses recipient at Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital. Awarded to nurses biannually at the hospital, The DAISY Award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day.
The nomination submitted from one of Danielle’s patients read:
“I came in this hospital basically alone to have surgery on my arm that had been broken/separated for a little over a month. I was mentally and physically a mess. This woman was filled with compassion and was so caring. She has been my first nurse so far and I hope the rest have ¼ of the caring heart she has."
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
Danielle is a Licensed Practical Nurse in the telemetry and acute care unit and has worked for Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital for six years. She enjoys hiking, cooking, and spending time with her husband and children.
“Winning the DAISY award means the world to me. Patient care is the reason we should all be here. Providing consistent, compassionate care is what being a nurse is all about,” said Danielle. “To some patients, their nurse is the only 'family' they have during their stay, so I make it a point to treat them as my own. I am so grateful to have received this award; definitely the highlight of my career thus far.”
“Danielle is such a deserving nurse for this DAISY honor. She truly exhibits all of the important attributes of a great nurse, and we are very fortunate to have her here at Stonewall,” said Carole Norton, Chief Nursing Officer at Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Nurses can be nominated by anyone who has been affected by their care – patients, family members, other nurses, physicians, other clinicians, and staff – anyone who has experienced or observed extraordinary, compassionate care being provided by a nurse.
