Ephraim McDowell Fort Logan Hospital (EMFLH) is pleased to recognize and honor one of its nurses for her extraordinary patient care.  Sydney Stroud, LPN, a nurse in the Medical/Surgical Unit at EMFLH, was one of many nurses nominated for the DAISY Award.  A resident of Lincoln County, Sydney has been caring for patients at EMFLH for three years. 

She was nominated by a patient’s family member who said, “While caring for my grandfather, who was nearing end of life, Sydney showed the utmost compassion and empathy not only to my grandfather, but to the whole family. Sydney took time to explain comfort care, what it entails and ensured everyone understood to make the appropriate, most compassionate decision. As a RN myself, I was so impressed with Sydney’s bedside manner and naturally caring nature. I hope all families can be blessed by being cared for by her.”

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.
