Please join us in congratulating Emma Shick, RN, on being our December DAISY Award recipient!

Emma was nominated by a patient’s family, who deeply appreciated her compassionate care during their loved one’s stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). The family had to make some incredibly difficult choices on behalf of the patient, and Emma provided additional support, ensuring they had all the necessary information, time, and reassurance to make informed decisions. She comforted the family, respected the patient’s final wishes, and even took photos to document their last moments together.

Thank you, Emma, for providing the highest quality care to your patients. We are proud to have you on #TeamBVHS.
