Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center (EMRMC) is pleased to recognize and honor one of its nurses for her outstanding patient care and compassion. Gracie Brummett, a nurse on the 5T, was one of many nominated for the DAISY Award. A resident of Danville, Gracie has cared for patients at EMRMC since graduating from Campbellsville University in 2025.  

Gracie was nominated by a visitor who said, “She was very professional and personal. Always seemed to be upbeat. When we left the hospital she told us she would always remember us. We sure enjoyed hearing that. She showed us empathy, respect, dignity, and friendliness. What a great role model she was to us and all who are lucky to have worked with 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. Nominations can also be accepted online at www.emhealth.org/awards/
