Maria has been working with the Rheumatology program for 3 years. She is appreciated and respected by the entire staff and the physicians who nominated her for the Daisy Award:
"Maria is a vital part of our Rheumatology Team, and I feel lucky and honored to work with her. She treats our patients as if they were her own children. She is kind, loving, respectful, humorous, smart, and tactful. She is not only a nurse, but she is a teacher, friend, mentor and more to me. I cannot think of an individual more deserving of this award."
Congratulations Maria!

The DAISY Award for extraordinary nurses recognizes the incredible work that nurses do every day. It was established by the DAISY Foundation, a foundation for the elimination of Diseases Attacking the Immune System in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Mr. Barnes' parents established the foundation in Patrick's memory, because they had experienced first hand the skills as well as the caring and compassion of many nurses.
