(May 8, 2024) Ellen Hope, LPN, received Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s 2024 DAISY Award.

NCH is proud to join hospitals around the world in recognizing nurses who make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and families through the DAISY program. The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day.

Nominations can be made by any staff member, patient, or family. Ellen was nominated by four separate individuals. Here are some excerpts from her nominations:

• “Ellen regularly impresses me with her capacity for compassion. She is an inspiration for nursing in primary care.”
• “Ellen is deserving of the DAISY Award not for one act, but for the care she provides every day.”
• “Our NP team in Family Practice rely on her daily and are so grateful for her effort, time and, most importantly, compassionate care.”
