Congratulations to our most recent #DAISY Award recipient, Mckenna Ganassin. Mckenna is an RN in Labor & Delivery.

Her nomination read: “After being rushed into an emergency c-section with my first child & almost losing her, you can only imagine how anxious I was when I started going to appointments for my second child. During my second pregnancy I went weekly for NSTs and each week McKenna was there. Each week she made a point even if she wasn’t my nurse to come in to say hello and ask how I was feeling. McKenna was there when I had my daughter in 2022, and knew my story. Knowing I was shaving a scheduled c-section this time, she made a point to help me mentally and physically prepare for it each week. Step by step what would happen, who would be there, and how different it was than an emergency delivery. She met me where I was at with my nerves & anxiety and made me feel heard and never once made me question if my feels were valid. She was there the day I went in for my scheduled c-section and met me with a smile on her face and open arms and said “let’s do this mama!”. During the whole prep from check-in to the OR McKenna explained everything to me in great detail on what was happening now and what was next. It was because of her I was prepared for all to come. It was because of her I had a completely different childbirth experience this time, and for that I am forever grateful!”
