Mount Sinai Medical center is proud to present our first-ever DAISY award to Iris Moya, who works in the cardiac step down unit. . The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is a recognition program that honors the superhuman work nurses do for patients and families every day. Iris’ nomination forms cited many amazing attributes, including her extreme professionalism, the caring attention she gives to patients, and her willingness to always go the extra mile.

Iris helped organize a special in-hospital ceremony for the son of a terminally-ill patient who couldn’t leave the campus. She helped coordinate all of the arrangements for the wedding to take place, and the patient was able to participate in her son’s special nuptials. It was a magical moment for all involved. This is the kind of next-level dedication we encourage and admire here at Mount Sinai. We are grateful to Iris and salute her for the elevated compassion and care she provides to all of her patients.
