Sue Peschel receives Daisy Award

Sue Peschel has been awarded the prestigious DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses!

This international program is dedicated to honoring nurses who deliver compassionate, above-and-beyond care, and Sue is the epitome of this recognition!

What makes this award even more special? Sue received not just one, but several heart-felt nominations, each painting a picture of her exceptional dedication.

Here's just a glimpse of what her colleagues and patients shared:

"Sue goes above and beyond for our patients and staff. She is very compassionate and caring... A big asset to our Medical/Surgical department."

"She consistently demonstrates compassion, clinical excellence and a strong advocacy for those in her care... She goes out of her way to support our team in thoughtful ways such as taking the initiative to create a snack and drink 'shop' for staff..."

"We are so lucky to have Sue in Missouri Valley. She goes above and beyond to care for our patients holistically; heart, mind, body, and spirit approach to all."

"You carry so much responsibility every day and yet you do it with such calm, compassion and genuine care. The way you connect with patients goes beyond medicine. You make them feel safe, heard, and truly cared for..."

From advocating for her patients' social needs with initiatives like a community closet, to supporting staff with thoughtful gestures, Sue's impact is immeasurable.

As our President, Alex Burhop, says, "Our staff are the heart of what we do," and Sue truly proves that every day!”
