Children’s & Women’s Hospital presents Daisy Award

Pediatric nurse Camille Poirier, RN, recently received a Daisy Award for her work with patients and their families at Children’s & Women’s Hospital.  

Here’s what one patient family had to say about her:

“Camille is a breath of fresh air. She is fun, knowledgeable, and feels more like a friend than just a nurse. She walked with us through our daughter’s very first chemo cycle, which was one of the most overwhelming moments of our lives. When I said, ‘This feels scary and intimidating,’ she simply said, ‘Let’s talk about it.’ She took the time to walk us through everything, so the current step felt less daunting.

“When I asked for recommendations on what other parents do to make this journey easier, she gave several suggestions that we still use today. She meets families where they are and makes hard situations feel manageable.”

Mitchell Cancer Institute awards October Employee of the Month  

Cartesha Fowler-Ruggs, patient coordinator, was awarded October Employee of the Month for her service.  

Here’s what her colleagues had to say about her:

“She greets every single patient with a smile and tries to resolve any issues they may have.  Even when the waiting room is overflowing and wait times are long...She still smiles and maintains composure.”

“She spreads her purple-tinted sunshine everywhere she goes!”
