Congratulations to Salla Ba, BSN, RN, a registered nurse in Surgery - Main at Methodist Hospital, for being honored with The DAISY Award! The Nebraska Methodist College graduate was nominated by a patient, who wrote:

“Salla was extremely comforting from the start. She held my hand, talked to me quietly in a very soothing voice and confirmed with me that she would be with me until my surgery started. I can't in any words let you know how she made me feel: very peaceful, comfortable and really being taken care of. Salla made a complete difference in my whole experience. Not to mention that she even came and saw me in my room during my week of recovery. She has a special place in my recovering heart. Methodist, I hope, knows how important she is to be staffed there! I have stopped and thanked her while at the hospital for cardiac rehab, and she told me that I didn't need to do that. But I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to see her again and thank her for what she did for me!"
