Outstanding Leader of the Year Award

2023

Congratulations,

Bryan Woodall!

 

 

Bryan Woodall, Outstanding Leader of the Year 2023

He’s described as a wonderful mentor, a loyal friend, and a great boss! Now, he’s GCGH’s 2023 Outstanding Leader of the Year!

Congratulations to our Police Chief Bryan Woodall! Bryan was chosen for this award because of his strong work ethic and dedication to the job. Bryan was instrumental in the creation of the GCGH Police Department one year ago. He worked tirelessly to determine what the department would need as far as equipment, certifications, and funding. Bryan’s police officers say he never asks them to do anything that he wouldn’t do himself. They say he leads by example, works an endless amount of night shifts, and never complains.

We at GCGH know what an asset Bryan is to our hospital, and we are so very grateful for ALL that he does as an outstanding leader!

Ashlyn Hadley, RN is our latest DAISY Award Winner! Ashlyn is a Registered Nurse working in our Med/Surg Department. She was nominated for this award by a patient who has recently been in and out of our hospital for various medical reasons. He said Ashlyn would check on him throughout the night during these stays. This patient suffers from severe back pain and often has trouble sleeping. He said Ashlyn always seemed happy to stop in to chat with him and keep him company for a few minutes, which he said he greatly appreciates! Thank you, Ashlyn, for taking the extra time to care for this patient and many others! GCGH appreciates YOU!

Ashlyn Hadley, RN

Greene County General Hospital is proud to recognize our nurses with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. It’s a national program that honors the compassionate care and clinical excellence our nurses bring to their patients every day. Throughout the year, you may nominate a nurse for The DAISY Award by simply filling out the form and mailing it to Greene County General Hospital, 1185 N 1000 W, Linton, IN 47441, ATTN: DAISY Coordinator.

The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families. DAISY is an acronym that honor’s Patrick’s ordeal, standing for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.

Each quarter, a nurse will be selected by Greene County General Hospital’s nursing administration to receive The DAISY Award. At a presentation given in front of the nurse’s colleagues, physicians, patients, and visitors, the honoree will receive a certificate commending her or him for being an “Extraordinary Nurse.” The certificate reads: “In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people.” The honoree will also be given a beautiful and meaningful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.

One day while Pat was in the hospital, he asked his family to bring him a Cinnabon® cinnamon roll plus enough for all the nurses in his unit. With the help of Cinnabon’s parent company, FOCUS Brands, The DAISY Foundation carries on this tradition by serving Cinnabon to all the nurses in the Award recipient’s unit in thanks for everything they do for their patients and families.

Bonnie Barnes, President and Co-Founder of The DAISY Foundation recalls that “when Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night. Yet these unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human work they do. The kind of work the nurses at Greene County General Hospital are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award.”

“We are proud to be among the healthcare organizations participating in the DAISY Award program,” said Chief of Clinical Quality, Jill Raines. “Nurses are heroes every day. It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides a way for us to do that.”

We’re giving a double shoutout to our latest Petal Award Winners!
Ainsley Arthur is a Patient Care Tech in our Med/Surg Department and is also currently enrolled in nursing school. She was selected for this award because she took it upon herself to sit with a gravely ill patient until family arrived to ensure that he wasn’t alone at a very vulnerable time. Ainsley was nominated by her Supervisor who commended her for taking initiative and noted that she will one day be a great nurse. Thank you, Ainsley, for showing such wonderful care and compassion!
Environmental Services Tech, Lucas McNabb, is also one of our outstanding Petal Award Winners! He was chosen for showing the utmost respect and kindness while cleaning patient rooms. He was very careful to sanitize the rooms well and was respectful of the patients’ and visitors’ space while doing so. While cleaning, Lucas also noticed an O2 flowmeter that was broken and brought this to the attention of the nurse to ensure that it was fixed. Way to go, Lucas! We appreciate you and your hard work so very much!
GCGH is fortunate to have both Ainsley and Lucas as a part of our team!
