Erica Berkelman Named Hot Springs DAISY Winner

Congratulations Erica Berkelman, RN, for being recognized as a DAISY Award winner!

Erica works on 2 West in Hot Springs and was nominated by a patient for this honor.

The patient said they were being returned from the ICU back to their room on the second floor. They said with things being somewhat hectic and several people in the room, they noticed Erica in the room.

“I see her face behind everyone and the poor thing is out of breath. She literally came running to my room. ‘I just heard they brought you back, I was worried.’ Now listen very carefully to these next nine words, words that touched my heart and made me cry. ‘I had to make sure that you were ok.’ Not many of us get a chance to meet their guardian angel, on that day I was blessed,” said the patient.

Thank you, Erica, for showing this patient humankindness!
