Backus Hospital

We are so proud to celebrate Alysha Medina, an extraordinary CCU nurse at Backus Hospital, as our latest DAISY Award winner!

Alysha (center with flowers) is not only an exceptional nurse, she is an exceptional human being. Living with multiple sclerosis, she demonstrates incredible resilience and strength every day, and those qualities only deepen the compassion she shows to others. Patients, families, and colleagues alike feel her warmth, kindness, and dedication, creating an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and truly cared for.

Alysha is the definition of the DAISY award, embodying integrity, compassion and inspiring everyone around her.
