Dallas County Hospital has announced their 2016 DAISY Award winner.

Registered Nurse Jody Hollar has been selected for the extraordinary nursing award. It’s part of the national DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the superhuman efforts nurses perform every day.

Hollar has been with the Dallas County Hospital team for the past 10 years.  She was nominated for being an “excellent team player, patient advocate, compassionate and quality focused.”

Chief Clinical Officer Tonya Summerson says she’s proud of Hollar “from her commitment to being a patient advocate, to the relationships she has developed with everyone she works with, Jody is truly an inspiration to nurses everywhere.”

Hollar will be honored next month during the Mercy Health Network Luncheon.
