Elizabeth Bean, BSN, RN, of the C4 patient care unit at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, was recently honored with a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. The award recognizes her dedication to providing compassionate, skilled care that makes a difference in the lives of patients and their families.

A Cherry Hill resident, Bean was praised by the mother of a patient with disabilities. “We encountered an ‘angel nurse,’” the mother wrote. “Liz welcomed us with a broad smile and consistently supported us throughout our stay.” 

Part of an international program, DAISY honorees are nominated by patients, family members, and colleagues. They are chosen by Jefferson’s clinical recognition committee. The nonprofit DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in 1999 from complications of an autoimmune disease.
