MENDOTA – As a partner in the international DAISY Award program that recognizes the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care of nurses, OSF Saint Paul Medical Center recently awarded its first DAISY Award to Michelle Jones.
Jones, a registered nurse who has worked in the medical-surgical unit since 2002, was nominated by co-workers at Saint Paul. “We truly appreciate the compassionate care that RNs perform every day and the Daisy Award is one way to recognize these dedicated individuals,” said Heather Bomstad, Chief Nursing Officer for OSF Saint Paul Medical Center.
In one of the comments received about Michelle, she was recognized as caring, kind and patient and for being a great teacher. Her positive attitude and her genuine concern are to be commended.
The DAISY Award program can be found in over 2,000 healthcare facilities in all 50 states and 14 other countries.
The Sunflower Award is a recognition program offered to non-nursing staff with OSF HealthCare. The award was given to Connie Falcon, who has been a respiratory therapy tech with the hospital’s cardiopulmonary department for 10 years.

A note submitted as part of Falcon’s nomination reads, “Connie always goes above and beyond with patient care. Not only is she very knowledgeable and competent in her role, she goes out of her way to help other staff members out especially when things get busy.”
OSF HealthCare encourages patients, family members and fellow staff to recognize caregivers who have provided exceptional care and service by nominating them for an award to honor their dedication.
