Henry Herzog, R.N., didn’t start his healthcare career as a nurse. His first role at Broward Health North was as an X-ray technician in the Operating and Emergency Departments.

In 2021, during the COVID pandemic, he became a nurse and helped care for patients needing neurology, telemetry or stroke care.

His commitment to patients was recently recognized by the hospital’s leadership with a DAISY Award. The national award celebrates nurses who demonstrate clinical excellence and extraordinary compassionate care.

“I am dedicated to helping people,” Herzog said. “I try to do everything I can to make our patients feel safe. It’s important to me that I always strive to do better than the previous day.”

Herzog, who now provides care in the Critical Care Unit, is already working on his next professional goal to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
