is a national program that honors the compassionate care and clinical excellence that our Franciscan St. Francis nurses bring to their patients every day. The DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at
Sullivan

WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS, WE’RE FIRST TO OPEN THE DOOR.
Nurses are right there on the front lines of care and at Community, they also happen to be right there on the front lines of change. The Institute of Medicine recommends advanced education for nurses and suggests they should be in full partnership with physicians and other professionals in redesigning
health care. At Community, we couldn’t agree more and are opening doors to help our nurses advance in this direction. By providing more educational oppor- tunities and fostering interdisciplinary partnerships, we strengthen our ability to deliver exceptional care. And that’s a pretty strong argument for change.
Make plans to be part of our advanced-practice nursing seminar in mid-January. Learn more at
