Last spring, a patient at UNC Health Blue Ridge was so anxious she nearly left without a procedure, one that would diagnose and treat her cancer. A caring conversation with a teammate gave her the courage to stay, and that decision saved her life. Last week, she called that same teammate with a surprise: her car was packed with 74 hats, 21 scarves, 8 ear warmers, and 5 blankets she had crocheted during recovery! She had already donated dozens to veterans and wanted these to comfort patients in need. Her words: “I haven’t slept in years because of PTSD. Now I stay up making these things and thinking about the people who will wear them. I want to give back every day because my life was saved here.” This is what hope looks like. This is what healing inspires.

Congratulations to our latest DAISY Award winner, Maddy Hammet, RN! She was nominated by a woman whose mother had been admitted with a stroke. The nomination said, "When I arrived, this nurse was sitting by my mother’s side holding her hand. This nurse made me feel emotionally safe. She consistently kept me informed about my mother’s care. This nurse’s passion and caring for patients didn’t go unnoticed." Thank you, Maddy, for going above and beyond to put this patient and her family at ease.
