Honoring Our Nurses
Nurses comfort, care, educate, console, relate, endear and provide direction and assistance. They are at the forefront when we are sick; their work responsibilities immense, their efforts tireless and their commitment endless. They are the heart and soul of medical facilities including residential care, hospitals, clinics, doctorsâ offices, schools, in-home care and much more.

Northwest Health has honored two nurses with Daisy Awards for extraordinary and compassionate service.
The annual awards were established to honor the late J. Patrick Barnes, whose family wanted to recognize the nurses who treated him after he died at 33 in 1999 because of complications from the idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura autoimmune disease.
The health care system honored Patricia (Patti) Martin, the manager of the Infusion Center at Northwest Health â Porter, with a Daisy Award.
âIt is difficult to find words to express my gratitude for line nurse Patti Martin at Northwest Health â Porter, said the patient who nominated here. She was my first nurse when I began cancer treatment in summer 2019. She took my first blood draw for labs and accessed my port-a-catheter the first time. I was anxious about my first port access. Patti s steady hands and gentle approach made the access absolutely painless along with every time since the first visit.
