About

“I initially went into health care as I had a love of children and wanted to be a pediatrician. Later I changed paths and went into nursing with my goal to be a Nurse Practitioner. Although I worked on several inpatient pediatric units as a nurse, I knew I wanted to care for the whole family. Being a Family Nurse Practitioner allows me to do that, as I provide healthcare for anyone age birth to 100 plus years old. I enjoy making personal connections with my patients, which is especially fun when I know their children and grandchildren. I feel very privileged for the opportunity to work at MCRHC and care for people in my hometown of Osage.”

We are currently accepting nominations year-round. The 2025 DAISY award will be announced during Nurses Week in early May.

Mitchell County Regional Health Center is proud to honor its outstanding nurses with the DAISY Award — an international program that celebrates skilled, compassionate nurses who provide care to patients and families every day.

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at 33 of an autoimmune disease. The Barnes family was awestruck by the clinical skills and compassion of the nurses who cared for Patrick, so they created this award to say thank-you to nurses everywhere.

DAISY Award Recipients:
