DAISY Honoree: Chrissy Johnson
Department: Acute Care
Nominated by: a patient

I was admitted to the hospital on 9/23/2024 for an infection and ulcer on my right
foot. Chrissy Johnson was my nurse during the day and into the night. She has the
best bedside manners, is very sweet, and is super compassionate. Chrissy treated
me as if I were family. I woke up early in the morning lost and scared. I didn’t
know where I was until Chrissy came into my room and I recognized her face. She
reassured me that I was in great hands. I believe she deserves the DAISY award
because she is an amazing nurse. Thank you!

BEE Honoree: Angela Jones
Department: Respiratory Therapy
Nominated by: received by Jessica Trotter from a patient

“I talked on the phone with an outpatient and the patient wanted to let me know
they had come in for a PFT and Angela was exceptional. She took the time with
the patient to explain the test and used a spacer with the MDI. The patient said in
all the years of using an MDI no one had taken the time to explain the importance
of the spacer. Angela showed the patient, and they now use it 4 months later.
This has made a significant difference in their life. The patient said their breathing
had improved and was thankful for Angela.”

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Cynthia Reinert as the 2nd Quarter DAISY Honoree.  Reinert was recognized for her professionalism and confidence in her role working in Emergency Room.

DAISY Honoree: Cynthia Reinert
Department: ER
Nominated by: Gill Beaumont

A very ill patient came to the ER and had his beloved AC/DC shirt on, and it had to
be cut off of him during his care. The patient was very upset about his shirt being
ruined. Cindy recognized this and promised she would bring him a new one. The
very next day she made good on her promise and brought the patient a new
AC/DC t shirt. He was so excited and thought it was very kind of her to do so. In
my opinion that was an example of going above and beyond to make a patient
feel a little better during a difficult time.

Danielle Sallee named 4th Quarter BEE Honoree

Posted on by Admin

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Danielle Sallee in ER as the 2023 4th Quarter BEE Honoree.  She is recognized for her hard work and helping others.

BEE Honoree: Danielle Sallee
Department: ER
Nominated by: EMS Shift A

We want to recognize Danielle Sallee for all her hard work in the ER and EMS. She is a very hard and dedicated worker and is always running around stocking or caring for patients by helping the staff in the ER. You can tell that she keeps the ER running smooth and getting patients triaged in an appropriate and timely matter. She makes sure rooms stay cleaned, stocked, and ready for use. When we bring in a patient, she is always there to greet us and ready to obtain report. She also can get the patient triaged and put into Meditech in a timely matter so the ER physician and RN’s can take over care of the patient. One example in EMS was by helping get our cot and monitor back together to be able to run a call while EMS went upstairs to Acute Care for a Code E. This was much appreciated and very helpful to EMS. We have noticed she is always up on her feet doing something every time we are in the ER even when the RNs are at the desk charting or with the patients. She is a jack of all trades in the ER and a great asset to CRMC ER and EMS, and our patients. She is a role model for our mission and values at CRMC.

 

Corbi Admire named the 4th Quarter DAISY Honoree!

Posted on by Admin

Coffeyville Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce Corbi Admire as the 4th Quarter DAISY Honoree.  Admire was recognized for her professionalism and confidence in her role working in Surgery.

DAISY Honoree: Corbi Admire
Department: Surgery
Nominated by: co-worker

My husband was diagnosed last year with cancer and we originally used another facility for our Health Care. After his diagnosis, we decided his follow up care would be done here at CRMC, because of the excellent care I witnessed working in Surgery. This year, when it was time for his colonoscopy, Corbi was his Surgical nurse. She was excellent in explaining the procedure and what he would expect. She took the time to make sure I was okay with everything prior to taking him back to surgery. My husband made a point to say that not only Dr. McGuirk has the best bed side manner he had ever experienced, but also Corbi. I’m happy to report he was cancer free for another year and I am grateful for the whole Surgery Department taking care of both of us. Knowing that our loved ones are cared for when they are not with us and vulnerable is something that is truly priceless. We will continue to use CRMC Surgical Services in the future because of the excellent care he received and will shout from the roof tops how excellent CRMC services are for others. Thank you Corbi, your compassion did not go unnoticed. I appreciate the care you took for my husband and for me on a very emotional day for both of us.

DAISY Honoree: Chelsea Woolfolk, RN
Department: ICU
Nominated by: a patient

I went into the hospital for two scopes: A colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. Unfortunately, I ended up being hospitalized for severe aspiration pneumonia with respiratory failure. I required ventilator assistance. I was in ICU for five days and did not think I was going to make it. Chelsea was one of the most compassionate people that I have ever met. I appreciated her healing words and kind touch. She is a big blessing for CRMC. I wish her all the best. Also, Dr. Kolette Smith for saving my life. I am asking the lord to bless this nurse and doctor.
