DAISY Awards
Paige Stevens, RN, receives CMH DAISY Award
Paige Stevens, RN, received the December 2024 CMH DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. She is a registered nurse at CMH Birth Place.
She was presented with the award in January 2025 after being nominated by a grateful patient.
“Paige was my nurse when I was in labor and delivery. As a nurse myself, sometimes nurses tend to not educate or are standoffish of other nurses. Paige was not that way—she was always educating me and helping me through the labor process. I labored for 21 hours and ended up needing a C-section. Paige stayed over until my baby girl was here, making sure that my baby and I were OK.”
The patient went on to express deep appreciation for Stevens’ kindness and dedication.
“Even months later, I continue to think about the heart she had for me, my family and our baby girl. We will forever be grateful for the compassion and love she showed us during a time that was scary. She was the glue that held us all together. She is an outstanding nurse, and we want her to know she is so appreciated.”
