N.C., AdventHealth Hendersonville DAISY Award Winner Kept Her Patient Calm and Reassured through Challenging Labor and Delivery at The Baby Place

Jul 12, 2023; HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. – AdventHealth Hendersonville is excited to introduce you to our newest DAISY Award winner. Kelsey Crisp, BSN, RN, C-EFM works at The Baby Place at AdventHealth Hendersonville.

Kelsey continually provides her patients with gentle, reassuring care during intense labor and deliveries at The Baby Place. One of her recent patients was very grateful to Kelsey for being calm and professional during what turned out to be a serious medical situation. As someone with anxiety, this patient was very relieved that Kelsey was able to calmly explain the situation to her. Kelsey’s professionalism and bedside manner made the patient feel comfortable and focused throughout her labor and delivery.

The patient shares, “Kelsey stood out with her overall bedside manner and intelligent answers to my questions. I am very grateful to this wonderful team who made sure I felt safe, secure, and maintained my dignity during a very exposing and vulnerable situation.”

Kelsey’s patient nominated her for this award, but also points out her gratitude to her entire nursing team that helped her through the experience. She says, “During what could have been a very traumatic experience for me, my nursing team stayed kind, calm and professional. The hospital should be glad they are on the team.”

AdventHealth Hendersonville is honored to have such an incredible team in The Baby Place, and we are thrilled to recognize Kelsey as our newest DAISY Award winner.

The DAISY Award was created by the family of J. Patrick Barnes in 1999 to thank the nurses who cared for Patrick and for them as he battled an autoimmune disease. Patrick lost his battle, but his family realized the impact his nurses had on the final days of his life. For that, they wanted to create an opportunity for all families who experience the benefits of the extraordinary care of nurses to show their appreciation.
