Granville Health System Announces 2024 2nd Quarter DAISY Award® Honoree
OXFORD, NC, July 24, 2024 – Granville Health System has announced its second quarter winner of the DAISY award. Tonya Hoyle, RN was awarded The DAISY Award® on July 24, 2024. Tonya, a nurse in our Surgical Services department, was nominated for the DAISY Award by a patient.
“Tonya was the nurse handling my care on when I was operated on at Granville Health System. A large number of positive statements are appropriate- professional, caring, knowledgeable, empathetic, skillful, and probably a dozen more. But what is not indicated adequately in such a list is the combination of wisdom and helpfulness that tie all of these positives together. Tonya repeated the explanation of my procedure but very carefully inserted layman’s terms and touching the places that were involved. This additional explanation made my procedure much more understandable. That may seem a minor thing, but it can be very important to the patient, especially when the operation involved various procedures. Tonya’s excellent briefing enabled me to understand how and why I would be encountering surgery and did a good job of preparing me for proper recovery. Tonya did a superb job on all our communication. She clearly understands and applies the concept that what a nurse says should assist in healing. I was most fortunate to have such a skilled nurse in this situation. Tonya’s dignity, respect, and concern for the patient exceeded anything I had experienced in previous surgical situations. She is not only a credit to her profession, but is also one of the most skilled nurses I have ever encountered.”
The Award is part of The DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize nurses for the extraordinary, compassionate care they provide patients and families every day. Granville Health System is among many healthcare organizations participating in The DAISY Award program.
“It is my honor to present this well-deserved DAISY Award to Tonya,” said Ann Marie Holtzman-Wheeler, Chief Nursing Officer, Granville Health System. “Her unwavering dedication to providing compassionate nursing care shines brightly, and we deeply appreciate her tireless efforts and commitment to the communities we serve, and the patients entrusted to our care.”
