Congratulations to Dazaray Crawford, Kettering Health Washington Township's DAISY Award winner! Dazaray is a nurse in Med-Surg. She was nominated by a patient, who shared: "Dazaray leaped into action when I came back from surgery. My bladder was hurting, and she quickly retrieved everything I needed for a pure wick. She acted quickly and with compassion. Every time she came into my room, she made me feel cared for and special. She deserves this award very much. I also feel it is special to mention that when she left for the evening, she told me she loved me and that touched my heart greatly." Way to show your patients you care, Dazaray!

#NursesWeek is drawing to a close, and we couldn't be more grateful for the nurses in our system who show up every day and work tirelessly to ensure our patients are well cared for. This week, we held a series of events for nurses on each of our campuses, including food, fun, photos, and blessings of the hands. Though the week is ending, our appreciation is not. Please take a moment to thank a nurse for the ways they bring health, hope, and healing to our community: https://lnkd.in/gNZUYJFd

Bruce Kidney, post-anesthesia care nurse, is creating access to healthy foods and helping a local refugee community while he does it with a community garden. The Unity Garden, located in Dayton's Riverdale Neighborhood, will grow produce to provide fresh and healthy foods in an area with limited options. Bruce will also focus on growing produce familiar to the African refugees in the area, including African eggplants, beans, and squash. Bruce will also maintain the garden with compost made from locally sourced produce waste from Dorothy Lane Market.
