Robin Becker, RN, 2025 DAISY Foundation Award Recipient

Adventist Health Tillamook announces Robin Becker, RN, as the 2025 DAISY Foundation Award for Extraordinary Nurses honoree. A cornerstone of the labor and delivery team since 2003, Robin is being recognized for her unwavering dedication to compassionate, whole-person care and clinical excellence in women’s health.

The DAISY Award, established by the DAISY Foundation, is a nationwide program that honors the incredible skill and dedication of nurses who go above and beyond for their patients and teams. Robin was nominated by colleagues and patients for her tireless work with postpartum families, her leadership in emergency situations, and her heartfelt mentoring of new nurses. She is also a certified lactation consultant, frequently coming in on her days off to help struggling mothers with breastfeeding. “Robin’s care doesn’t end with the shift,” said Heather Thompson, RN, Patient Care Executive at Adventist Health Tillamook. “She empowers new moms, brings calm to moments of crisis, and shows up for her team every single day. Her dedication to our OB patients and to her fellow nurses is nothing short of inspiring.”

Robin is known for her ability to make patients and families feel seen, heard, and supported — whether through managing pain, calming anxieties, or helping parents navigate the first moments of parenthood. One nominator wrote, “Robin is the DAISY of all daisies!” Another shared, “She was my nurse after my own delivery, and her encouragement, guidance, and kindness helped me in more ways than she’ll ever know.” Her influence goes beyond patients. Robin is widely admired by her team for her steady leadership during emergencies and her commitment to continued education. “She is an invaluable part of our team and represents the very best of Adventist Health,” said Eric Swanson, President of Adventist Health Tillamook. “Robin lives our mission every day by inspiring health, wholeness and hope for everyone she serves.”

The DAISY Foundation was created in memory of Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 of an autoimmune disease. His family was so moved by the care and compassion shown by nurses during his illness that they established the foundation to honor exceptional nurses worldwide. Adventist Health Tillamook is honored to present this recognition to Robin Becker, RN, and extends heartfelt gratitude for the compassion, wisdom, and professionalism she brings to every patient, every day.
