The Medical Center of Southeast Texas names it's August DAISY Award recipient – Rita Bass, an RN in the Behavioral Health Department who was nominated by her patients for this award!

Here are some of the reasons Rita was nominated for the award:

“She actually hears me, rather than just asking questions to only type my answers into the files. She pays attention.”

“Rita is a very caring and warm-hearted person. She’s non-judgmental and sees potential in each and every client/patient she encounters. She makes you feel comforted and heard and offers great advice. She will go over and beyond to make sure you get the help that you need. There is no other nurse like her, she’s one of a kind!”

“Always willing to help and refills are always on time. Shows lots of respect and that she really cares for each individual client. Terrific nurse.”

“Miss Rita is a caring person and she is helpful to others.”

The DAISY Award is a nationwide program presented in collaboration with the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses every day. The Medical Center of Southeast Texas is proud to be a DAISY Award hospital partner. To learn more about the DAISY Foundation, please visit their website here.
