(From Blanchard Valley Health System)

Congratulations Davis Ferry, RN, on being the August DAISY award recipient!

Davis is a nurse in the intensive care unit at Blanchard Valley Hospital, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System. He was nominated by a patient’s spouse after they witnessed the exceptional care he provided. The nominator praised his compassion, knowledge, attentiveness, and expertise. They valued Davis’s sincere concern for his patients’ health, his willingness to go above and beyond to answer any questions the family had, and his ability to make them feel heard and cared for.

“We felt like Davis truly cared about Rick and him getting better,” wrote the nominator. “It was real, not over the top, and genuine. He wanted us to have the knowledge and tools to work together to help with Rick’s care. This came across with everyone he worked with, too — they cared about each other, and they truly respected and appreciated Davis.”

Thank you, Davis, for your commitment to patient-centered, compassionate care. We’re proud to have you on #TeamBVHS.
