posted February 18th, 2009
Betty Watson, RN, Patient Resource Management at DUMC, received the Edward and Florence O’Keefe Award for Excellence in Oncology Nursing Practice. A physician said:
“Betty is a seasoned shoulder to lean on, always reminding me that the patients needs come first, and that the patient is why we are here. Her example of patient advocacy made a big impression on me and I decided as a physician, I wanted to be a patient advocate as well. Betty always goes the extra miles for her patients and their families. She truly personalizes medicine.”
