Christina Martinez

CHI Health St. Francis recognizes Medical/Surgical nurse Christina Martinez, RN, its most recent DAISY Award recipient. Martinez is recognized for excellence in nursing and providing above-and-beyond compassionate care to patients and their families. 

The hospital chooses one recipient monthly from the many nominations submitted by patients, families and staff.

A grateful patient writes: “She is an amazing nurse that goes above and beyond with her care for her patients. During my stay I was overwhelmed…Her confidence and explanation made me feel that I was well taken care of. I don’t think I could have made it through without her. She demonstrates her compassion with her interactions with patients. It’s the touch of her hand and the empathy in her voice that shows her love in caring for others. She was truly excellent in this situation and I am glad she was there for me when I needed it.”
