Vermont Business Magazine Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital in St Johsbury (NVRH) nurses Melissa Blanchard and Jackie Osanitsch were honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses for their compassionate care at the two latest DAISY award ceremonies, held on Thursday, May 6 and Friday, May 7. The two ceremonies, which are traditionally held on the units and attended by patients, colleagues and family members, were either live-streamed or later published on Facebook.
The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation is a nonprofit created in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes to thank his nurses for the care and compassion they provided during his illness and at the end of his life, according to a pamphlet about the organization.
Najera was nominated for the award by an anonymous person on Dec. 28, 2020, whose brother was a patient at Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta. Their nomination letter said:
“I want to thank Alexis personally because she went above and beyond to get my brother discharged. She got him all the things he needed to be safe and she was so nice to me! Alexis explained everything to me in detail like what to look for, what to check, and how to deal with it. She was also always very happy and pleasant to me and (it seems) like she loves her job! She is so bubbly and was always very thorough with all of the information. She made me safe.”
