Marisa Crotty is a nurse on the surgical unit at Cox Medical
Center Branson. She was nominated for a DAISY Award by the
daughter of a patient.
“I had many questions regarding my mom’s fractured hip,” the
patient’s daughter explained. “When I approached Marisa, she gave me quality
time, addressed my concerns and was very informative. This was comforting to
me. My main concern was to get my mom’s pain to a tolerable level. Marisa told
me how she would address this and then followed through. This young lady
quickly earned my respect.”
“Marisa is a great fit for the DAISY Award,” explained Adene
Smith, BSN, CNRN, director of medical and surgical units. “Marisa consistently
goes above and beyond for her patients to ensure they are as comfortable as
possible. She also understands that communication is key when it comes to
emotional comfort and Marisa does an outstanding job communicating with both
her patients and their family.”
