It was a night of dinner, desserts and cinnamon rolls, as CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Alice celebrated its latest Daisy and Sunshine Award recipients. The February 20th event was hosted by CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Alice Interim President, Richard Morin and Margot Rios, Chief Nursing Officer of CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital Alice.
The Daisy Award For Extraordinary Nurses is an international recognition program for nurses. It was created in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes to honor the super-human work that nurses perform for patients and patients’ families each day. More than 4,300 healthcare facilities and nursing schools across all 50 states and an additional 27 countries honor nurses with The Daisy Award.
