St. Mary’s Medical Center is proud to honor Linda Murphy as its latest monthly DAISY Award winner. She is a wound care nurse, but works primarily in the hospital’s ICU. The department nominated Linda, almost unanimously, for the compassion she shows not only patients, but also their families. During difficult times, she has been seen hugging family members and providing emotional support as their loved ones receive care. Linda is also respected among her peers for showing this same dedication to her co-workers, often going the extra mile when they need her as well. Other departments, such as the trauma team at St. Mary’s, have grown to respect her work ethic and the important role she plays in her patients’ healing.
