Congratulations to Brie Arello, RN, who was recently chosen to receive the DAISY Extraordinary Nurse Award! She works on Cambridge 9A in acute leukemia and was nominated by the girlfriend of a terminally ill cancer patient who says Arello consoled her when she received the unfortunate news of his condition. “Brie went above and beyond when she sat with me while I cried, making sure I wasn’t alone. She treated me as if I was one of her family. She comforted me better than any nurse or doctor had in our entire year long, terrifying cancer journey,” she explains. “Even though we were only on the Hematology/Oncology Unit for a couple days, I will never forget the kindness that this nurse showed me in one of the darkest hours of my life! I will hold Brie close to my heart forever.”

This past weekend, near 100 volunteers from the health system, including employees and their family members, laid wreaths at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery. Employees and others donated 719 wreaths. This is an incredibly special event for many employees who want to fulfill the mission of Wreaths Across America, which is to remember, honor and teach.

Congratulations to Leann Fisher, BSN, RN, the latest recipient of the DAISY Extraordinary Nurse Award. She is a perioperative nurse who works with OBGYN patients, including the one who wrote the letter nominating Fisher. The patient described the sadness she experienced the day she underwent a surgical procedure following her miscarriage. "After loss people don't know what to say, because there are no words to ease the pain," the patient wrote. "After my D&C, this nurse sat with me and let me cry. I felt heard and seen in a moment when I felt like others treated it as just another day. This nurse was truly a blessing to have in that moment and I am grateful for nurses like them."
