Congratulations to our Inaugural DAISY Team Award
Winners!
For years, GBMC HealthCare has participated in the national DAISY award program, recognizing nurses for going above and beyond in their roles. Historically at GBMC, these have been individual recognitions, but we have expanded the program to offer an annual team award. This new iteration of the award recognizes teams of two or more led by a nurse or group of nurses that exemplify GBMC’s mission, vision, and values. In addition, the award winners are role models of collaboration and teamwork that make a difference in the lives of patients, families, employees, and the community.
When the war in Ukraine began, it was personal for the NICU.
Two of their own – Olena Goddard, MD, a neonatologist and Inga
Vesnovsky, RN, a NICU nurse – were born and raised in Ukraine. Olena and
Inga were deeply impacted by the personal stories they were hearing from family
and friends still in Ukraine. In addition, the entire NICU family was devastated
to hear news that the neonatal unit of a children’s hospital in Kyiv had been
hit by shrapnel.
The NICU team didn’t hesitate to act and immediately started
raising money for the children’s hospital. Over a few weeks, they raised $1,000
(equal to $30,000 in Ukrainian currency)!
The team’s response to both their global neonatal community
and their hurting colleagues was profoundly compassionate and admirable.
Thank you to the NICU team for embodying our mission, vision,
and values.
