We're celebrating each of our recent DAISY Award nominees. Next up: none other than Mary Jo Kussmaul, RN.For nearly four decades, Mary Jo has been a steady presence of compassion and care at The Richland Hospital and Clinics. Since joining our team in 1987, she has touched countless lives with her kindness, grace, and unwavering dedication to her patients. "She is absolutely focused on excellent patient care and is continually working to push for improvement," says Carolyn Anderson, Director of Quality Resources. "We are fortunate to have nurses like Jo who maintain that passion for nursing now and into the next generation. She's a true role model."It's no surprise that Mary Jo was recently nominated for a DAISY Award. One patient shared, "She was so very kind and friendly. Her warm smile was a welcome sight and very comforting when she walked in my room." Another simply wrote, "She was terrific."While the words are simple, they speak volumes about the impact Mary Jo has every day. Patient surveys frequently mention her by name, recognizing her as an example of the exceptional care and compassion our team strives to provide. That kind of consistency cannot be taught. It comes from a genuine commitment to others.Nursing is often called a calling, and we're grateful that Mary Jo answered hers right here at The Richland Hospital and Clinics.
