MOORESVILLE,
Ind. – Franciscan St. Francis Health has two registered nurses whose acts of compassionate
care and joyful service have sewn seeds of gratitude among their patients and
colleagues.
For
Tammy Like and Dana Matthews, nursing is far more than a career; it’s a calling
that goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Like,
an emergency room nurse at the Mooresville hospital, was nominated by a
colleague who credited her for exemplifying compassionate care and making a
difference in a patient’s life.
“Tammy
gave extraordinary nursing care today and listened with great compassion,” said
a fellow nurse. “Tammy exemplified joyful service and a passionate respect for
life.”
Matthews,
also an emergency room nurse at the Mooresville hospital, was nominated by a
colleague for her calm, compassionate way with a patient.

“Dana’s
compassionate and calming tone in a situation truly saved a life and deserves a
Daisy,” she wrote.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is a national program
that honors the compassionate care and clinical excellence that Franciscan St.
Francis nurses bring to their patients every day.
The
DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick
Barnes who died at 33 of an auto-immune disease. His family was so impressed by
the clinical skills, caring and compassion of the nurses who cared for him that
they created this national award to say “thank you” to nurses everywhere. For
