Joy Tyson: a true patient advocate
posted February 16th, 2009
Joy Tyson, RN, Emergency Department at Durham Regional Hospital, received the DRH Medical Staff Award for Excellence in Nursing Practice. A colleague said:
“Joy is a true patient advocate. She can be seen staying late to assist a patient or family member. She welcomes all patients and families as a family member of her own. Many times patients comment that they forgot they were in the ER since she made them feel so comfortable.”
