Kristy Funkhouser, RN, PCU, is St. Clare’s most recent DAISY Award winner! This recognition is a testament to the level of care she provides each and every patient. Thank you for all that you do Kristy!

Hear from Kristy's nomination:
“It is hard to think of one specific example for why Kristy deserves the Daisy award. She is a silent and dependable nurse who is often overlooked because everything she does is exemplary. Whether it is something as little as calling family to let them know a family member has been admitted or transferred, or at the end of her shift to give a summary of the day. She does it routinely without prompt. As a charge she is the calm head of the department, always available, knowledgeable, and a fierce advocate for her staff and patients. Kristy is who I think of when I think of a nurse I would want to be compared to or model and someone who I have never seen have a bad day.”
