Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center nurse recognized for extraordinary service
Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center (EMRMC) is pleased to recognize and honor one of its nurses for her extraordinary patient care. Leah Holloway, R.N., a nurse in the Critical Care Unit, was one of many nurses nominated for the DAISY Award. A resident of Boyle County, Leah has been caring for patients at EMRMC for nearly four years.
She was nominated by a patient’s family member who said, “Leah was my husband’s nurse after he suffered a massive heart attack and was unconscious in the Critical Care Unit. Leah not only took medical care of my husband, but also met the emotional needs for me and my children. She showed such compassion to all of us during a very devastating time. Each question was answered and her fight to get us answers for the possible outcome was relentless. In the four days we were there, she became part of us as we went through the decisions to let go. I will forever be grateful for her decision to trade shifts, so she could see us through our final day with my husband. My family will never forget her and will always appreciate her kindness and compassion for us.”
Ephraim McDowell is proud to recognize nurses with the DAISY Award, a national program honoring the compassionate care and clinical excellence that nurses bring to their patients every day. Nomination forms for the DAISY Award are available at various locations throughout EMRMC and Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital.
