Ephraim McDowell James B. Haggin Hospital (EMJBHH) is pleased to recognize and honor one of its nurses for her extraordinary patient care. Laura Barr, R.N., in the Acute Care Department at EMJBHH, was one of many nurses nominated for the DAISY Award. A resident of Washington County, Laura has been caring for patients for 16 years at EMJBHH.

She was nominated for the award by a patient that said, “She always has a smile.  She will talk and joke with family when she is taking care of you.  She is concentrating on you and not something or someone else.  She listens if you have questions and if she cannot answer your questions, she will find the answer for you.  She also makes sure that patient modesty is not compromised.”

Ephraim McDowell is proud to recognize nurses with the DAISY Award, a national program that honors the compassionate care and clinical excellence that nurses bring to their patients every day.  Nomination forms for the DAISY Award are available at various locations throughout Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center, Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital, Ephraim McDowell James B. Haggin Hospital and other Ephraim McDowell facilities.
