Richardson shared in a nomination how Singletary provided incredible support to her family after a long and emotional day. He treated them with kindness and respect, giving them comfort and reassurance during a difficult time. Singletary’s dedication and commitment to providing exceptional care were evident in how he handled the situation.
At SGMC Health, nurses like Singletary are recognized for going above and beyond in their care. Nominations for the DAISY award are reviewed by a committee based on criteria such as compassion, teamwork, leadership, attitude, and skills. The honorees are celebrated monthly in front of their colleagues, patients, physicians, and visitors.
Each DAISY award recipient receives a certificate acknowledging their exceptional nursing care. They also receive a hand-carved sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, made by artists from the Shona Tribe in Africa. As a special touch, a beautiful floral arrangement of daisies is donated by The Flower Gallery, the local sponsor of SGMC Health’s DAISY Award.
