Nurse Hanson Presented DAISY Award for Extraordinary Patient Care
(Freeborn, MN) – Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. (ACH) is proud to present Nurse Hanson with a DAISY Award 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 Hanson’s nomination stated: “During an intake, a patient had blood on their head but stable vitals. However, Nurse Hanson sensed something was off and called me, prompting me to send the patient to the emergency room. After follow-up, I found out the patient was very sick. Thanks to Nurse Hanson’s quick thinking, the patient received the care they needed in time. This is just one of many examples of Nurse Hanson’s exemplary practice, and I feel fortunate to have her on my team.”
ACH demonstrates a steady commitment to the welfare of its patients and frontline workers, emphasizing the importance of providing a higher standard of care and prioritizing people over profits. For the ninth consecutive year, the company earned the Great Place to Work certification and has also been awarded its second Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Ethics. Most recently, ACH was honored at Music City's Community Choice Awards for having the Best Employee Recognition Program.
