AMERICUS — Phoebe Sumter Medical Center has announced that Madison Young, a nurse on the fourth floor at Phoebe Sumter, has been awarded the prestigious DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

This award recognizes nurses who demonstrate extraordinary compassion and skill in the care of their patients.

Young was nominated by a patient’s family members who experienced her exceptional care first-hand.

“Madison was so sweet,” a patient’s family member wrote in the nomination. “She always explained everything and went above and beyond her duties in assisting the doctors. She showed genuine concern and went the extra mile to fight for her patient.”

The DAISY Award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the efforts nurses perform every day.
