Local Nurses Receive DAISY Award

Coconut Telegraph

Recently a young woman with a history of substance abuse was admitted to the intensive care unit at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota where Bree Duckwall, RN and Christine Eckles, RN both cared for the young woman and her family with such respect and kindness and compassion they have been honored for with the DAISY Award.  This international award recognizes extraordinary nurses who provide exceptional care. Patients, families, and colleagues may nominate nurses and a committee at Doctors Hospital chooses the recipients. The woman’s mother said they were so thankful for the compassion they received from these nurses. Unfortunately, the young woman did not survive but both nurses continued to support to her family, even attending the young woman’s funeral during their off time. During a special ceremony in the ICU fellow nurses and family members gathered to present Duckwall and Eckles with their DAISY Awards and thank them for their dedication and empathy to patients. “The lengths that Bree and Christine went to, to show this family that their daughter mattered and she was cared for will stay with them forever,” said Stormy Dulovich, ICU Director.
