DAISY Recipient: Allysa Ashburn-Ryan
Department: ICU
Nominated by: Patient’s Family Member

From Patient’s Family Member: ""My mother was in the ICU for a few days, fighting to live. Allysa was very helpful on the night shift. Allysa did a fantastic job in a very difficult situation by providing stability, information and explanations. She was gentle and calm while helping with my mom's care. She not only took care of my mother but took care of me and my family. Always checking to see if we needed anything, providing a shoulder to cry on and calling me with updates. I appreciate the time she took and the kindness she showed me even outside the hospital when she ran into me after my mother passed away. She took the time to check on my family to see if we needed anything.”
