Morrilton RN Honored with DAISY Award for Joyful Care

We want to congratulation Derek DePriest, RN, at Morrilton on receiving the DAISY Award! This national award is presented to nurses selected for their extraordinary care and compassion. Derek was recognized after a patient’s family member hand-wrote a nomination praising him for how he took care of their father. Here’s what the nomination said:

“Mr. Derek DePriest was wonderful taking care of my dad. He was so kind and went above and beyond what he had to do, with extra touches that helped all of us. He is a nurse I wish all nurses were like: happy, joyful, full of smiles. I truly could tell that he loves his job, and we are so appreciative of him.”

Derek, thank you for letting your personality shine and your joy benefit your patients and their families! We are grateful for your work and your spirit.
