DAISY Award Nomination Presented: McPhail, RN
(Redwood, Minnesota) – Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. (ACH) is proud to present Nurse McPhail a DAISY Award nomination for extraordinary patient care.
The DAISY Foundation’s DAISY Award recognizes nurses “for the super-human work they do for their patients and families [of the patients] every day.” While the DAISY Award is well-known in the hospital setting, ACH partnered in 2017 as the first and only correctional health care provider to present this award to its associates. When nurses are honored with the DAISY Award, they receive an award certificate, a DAISY pin, and the Healer’s Touch sculpture. They are also featured on the DAISY Foundation’s website.
Nurse McPhail’s nomination stated: “Nina is so compassionate in her care for patients within the correctional system, specifically in Redwood County. We had a patient who was receiving methadone treatment from a facility 2.5 hours away prior to incarceration. Nina spent several hours coordinating the continuation of his methadone while incarcerated. This included several phone calls with the facility prescriber and the facility manager to coordinate the delivery of the medication to the jail. Because of Nina's dedication and compassion, this patient was able to continue methadone treatment while incarcerated and will be better set up for opioid recovery when released.”
