Our Latest Honoree: John Uy

John Uy, our DAISY Award honoree, truly embodies what it means to be an exceptional nurse. He is known for treating everyone equally, fostering teamwork, and always being ready to help. John’s sincerity and kindness create a positive environment for both patients and colleagues. He consistently takes the time to teach staff about new workflows and equipment, while his ability to connect with patients leaves a lasting impression.

One patient shared a heartfelt story about John’s care:
"From the start, when he introduced himself, he made me feel comfortable with his kind and friendly way. One moment I remember is when he saw I was having trouble adjusting my position in bed. Without me asking, he helped me quickly, made sure I was comfortable, and explained how small changes could help my recovery. It was a small thing, but it showed how much he cared and paid attention. During my stay, John always checked on me, not just to finish his work but to ask how I was feeling and if I needed anything. He made me feel like I was his main concern, even though I knew he had other patients to take care of. His kindness and professionalism really stayed with me. I felt like I was taken care of, and that made a big difference. Thank you, John, for doing extra."
John’s ability to combine clinical expertise with genuine empathy makes him truly deserving of this prestigious recognition.
