Laurie Sheridan CGH Medical Center Sunshine Award winner

STERLING – Laurie Sheridan, a registered nurse and case manager from the CGH Population Health Management Department, recently received the Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

The award is presented to nurses around the world who go above and beyond for their patients and demonstrate extraordinary compassionate care.

“I would like to nominate Laurie for the Daisy Award due to the outstanding work she does with families in the emergency room,” said Stephanie Waller, RN, Digestive Health Center, and Daisy Award coordinator. “Laurie recognizes patient needs, family needs and caregiver/caretaker needs on a daily basis. She is more the willing to advocate for any one of these persons should she need to do so, in the case that they cannot advocate for themselves.

“Recently during a very difficult case, Laurie spent hours beyond her shift with a family that was in dire need of an ear, some direction and compassion. Laurie put her heart and soul into this case, and it was exactly what this family needed.

“I want her to know she is appreciated more than she could imagine for the countless hours she spends doing her job and doing it well. I am certain this is not a unique day for Laurie, as she works diligently at her job daily. What an asset this registered nurse is to our CGH community. I am grateful to have her on our team,” Waller said.

Other CGH Medical Center nurses nominated by patients this quarter include Sabrina Allen, Claire Aulwes, Darcie Bettner, Lauren Cecchetti, Danielle Grobe, Sue Hageman, Arisha Hubbard, Kayla Jackley, Nataly Jones, Sydney Lebahn, Lisa Little, Meichelle Phelps, Michele Schueler and Teresa Stark.
