July 2025 DAISY Award Recipient

McKennah Caldera, RN

 

McKennah Caldera, RN, Direct Observation Unit (DOU) 2 West
DAISY Award – July 2025

McKennah is an outstanding charge nurse and a gifted leader. She is a strong advocate for both patients and colleagues, and a trusted preceptor who guides and supports new staff members. McKennah has a remarkable ability to ease workloads and foster a sense of calm and empowerment among her team. Her leadership was especially evident as she cared for a patient who needed to be discharged from San Antonio under challenging circumstances. McKennah worked diligently to advocate for the patient and coordinate outside resources, ensuring a safe discharge plan while the patient awaited care at another facility. Congratulations McKennah, and thank you for going above and beyond to make sure our patients receive the care and concern they deserve!
