Vance Wheeler, Carrie Gentry Receive DAISY Nominations

Vance Wheeler and Carrie Gentry, both registered nurses, were recently honored with DAISY Award nominations from a deeply grateful patient. Despite expressing difficulty with writing, the patient felt compelled to recognize the exceptional care and compassion provided by these two nurses.

The patient described Vance as punctual, attentive to patient needs, and unfailingly polite and helpful. Carrie was lauded for her dedication, responsiveness, and genuine concern for her patients' well-being.

Tragically, the patient has since passed away, but his wife was able to personally express her gratitude to Vance and Carrie for their compassionate care. Both nurses have a distinguished history of patient recognition and awards at SMCH. We are immensely proud to have them as part of our healthcare team.
