WinnMed has awarded Home Health & Hospice nurse, Jennifer Nahl, RN, the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national recognition celebrating nurses who deliver exceptional care.

Nominated by a patient’s loved one, Jennifer was recognized for the extraordinary compassion, honesty and unwavering support she provided to the patient and his family during his final months. She offered comfort through her gentle presence, genuine kindness, and intuitive understanding of his needs, while also uplifting the family. Jennifer built meaningful connections by listening intently to the patient’s favorite stories and memories, helping him feel valued and understood. Her clear, honest communication fostered trust, ensured the family felt fully informed and honored the patient’s wishes. Through her dedication, empathy, and exceptional care, Jennifer brought dignity and peace during the family’s most vulnerable moments, leaving an immeasurable and lasting impact. Jennifer has been a member of the WinnMed team since 2010.

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful care nurses provide every day. The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way.
