DaVita Honors 56 Nephrology Nurses Nationwide with DAISY Awards

Nurses play a vital role in healthcare, combining expertise, empathy, and dedication to provide continuous patient care. DaVita, a kidney care provider, employs thousands of nephrology nurses who specialize in managing chronic kidney disease through various stages, including dialysis and transplantation. Recently, DaVita honored 56 nephrology nurses with the DAISY Award® for Extraordinary Nurses, recognizing their compassionate contributions and clinical excellence. These nurses were nominated by their colleagues and patients for their outstanding care and empathetic interactions, highlighting nursing as a calling rather than just a profession. The award recipients exemplify the profound impact nurses have on patients' lives, strengthening the mission of healthcare providers like DaVita. Meanwhile, a heartwarming personal story from Western Australia highlights the journey of two nurses, Matthew and Nicole, who met while volunteering, got engaged in 2022, and married in 2025, illustrating the personal connections that can grow from a shared dedication to nursing and care.
