PVCH Recognizes Tianna Farris as DAISY Award Recipient
Pawnee Valley Community Hospital is proud to recognize Tianna Farris, RN on the acute care floor, as this year’s DAISY Award recipient. The DAISY Award is a national program that honors nurses who provide extraordinary care through skill, compassion, and genuine empathy for patients and families.
The DAISY Award was created in memory of Patrick Barnes, whose family experienced exceptional kindness and support from nurses during his illness. In gratitude for that care, the Barnes family established the award to recognize nurses who make a lasting difference during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Tianna was nominated after a meaningful moment was witnessed and shared. As someone walked down the hall, they heard Tianna’s calm, reassuring voice coming from a patient’s room. Inside, an elderly patient who was confused and upset was crying. Tianna sat with the patient, offering comfort and reassurance while painting their fingernails. As the interaction continued, the patient visibly relaxed, calmed, and thanked Tianna for her kindness. This moment is a powerful example of the empathy and compassion Tianna brings to her patients every day. Her commitment to caring for others goes beyond clinical skill and truly reflects the heart of nursing.
Tianna’s actions embody the true spirit of the DAISY Award. We are grateful for the compassion, comfort, and dedication she brings to Pawnee Valley Community Hospital, and we are proud to recognize her with this national honor. Congratulations, Tianna.
