Join us in congratulating #DAISYAward winner Tara Gibson, RN! 👏 When one of our patients arrived for brain tumor surgery at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, Tara stood out as the bright light he and his family needed. She connected with her patient through a shared love of Virginia Tech football, turning on the Hokies game after surgery and even updating his whiteboard with a to-do list: "Kick OR's Butt and Hokies Win." But beyond that, Tara provided exceptional care—anticipating needs, explaining every step of the recovery process, advocating for her patient, and easing his family's fears during an incredibly difficult time. "It’s difficult to put into words how much my family appreciates Tara,” her nomination read. “She made one of the scariest weekends of our lives a little bit easier. We would choose her a million times over." Thank you, Tara, for the compassion, expertise, and human connection you bring to every patient and family. ❤️ #MedStarHealthProud #TreatPeople
