A Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) nurse was given a pleasant surprise this past Monday when she arrived to find a ceremony being held in her honor. Registered Nurse, Shelby Dickson, was presented with the DAISY Award for her extraordinary efforts in serving MRHC’s patients and their families. Dickson takes a very unique and personal approach to helping patients set and achieve their health improvement goals. She will be attending the DAISY Award ceremony at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines later this summer. The DAISY Award was founded in 1990 by the family of Patrick Barnes, who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. In his memory, the family wanted to find a way to show how much they appreciated the care Patrick and the rest of their family received from the nursing staff. Since that time, more than 2,000 healthcare facilities worldwide have recognized their nurses with the DAISY Award.
