March 2025 DAISY Award Recipient

Brenda Mafnas

 

Brenda Mafnas, RN, Surgery Department
DAISY Award – March 2025

Brenda has been a dedicated care team member for 21 years, and excelled from the very start!  She began as a staff nurse and later joined the cardiac team.  She eventually took on the role of surgical charge nurse, a position filled with daily challenges, but one she handles with grace and efficiency.  Coworkers appreciate her calm and collected demeanor during unanticipated situations. Brenda creates an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and mutual respect.  She is great at motivating staff with a shared vision and enthusiasm to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and for our patients. Beyond her clinical and leadership skills, Brenda is well-liked and highly respected.  She is passionate about her work as evidenced by the patient care she provides and the way surgeons and fellow coworkers praise and appreciate her.  Congratulations, Brenda!
