HARRODSBURG — Ephraim McDowell James B. Haggin Hospital is pleased to recognize and honor one of its nurses for her extraordinary patient care. Lindsay Baker, RN, a nurse in the Emergency Department, was one of many nurses nominated for the DAISY Award. A resident of Washington County, Lindsay has been caring for patients at the hospital for over two years.

She was nominated for the award by a coworker that said, “Every day we work together, Lindsay demonstrates compassion and patience. She is so calm in tense situations and shows strength and the honest desire to give great patient care. Lindsay is a perfect example of what every nurse should be. If I were to ever become a nurse, I would want to be just like her. She has a connection with not only her patients, but also her coworkers.”

Ephraim McDowell is proud to recognize nurses with the DAISY Award, a national program that honors 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 Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital and Ephraim McDowell James B.

Angie Long, RN, a nurse in the Wound Healing Center, was one of many nurses nominated for the DAISY Award. A resident of Lincoln County, Angie has been caring for patients at the hospital for 25 years.

She was nominated by a patient that said, “Angie is an amazing nurse and person. She has been with me through the ups and downs of this long journey. Always with words of encouragement and a smile and never judging me like many of the other health care workers I have encountered. She has a huge heart of compassion and truly cares about her patients and their families. She spent extra time educating me and my family about the care I needed to continue at home and made sure I had the resources I needed. I have even seen other nurses come to her for advice and she continued with that same smile on her face.”
