Gina quickly assessed his condition, advised him to seek emergency care, and arranged for EMS. But what truly set her apart was how she cared for his dog, rallying the nursing team to help ensure the dog was safe until the patient’s daughter arrived.
Today, we celebrate Gina, a truly remarkable team member whose dedication, compassion, and professionalism shine brightly in every aspect of her work. From her exceptional care for patients to her unwavering support for her colleagues, Gina goes above and beyond every day to make a difference.

One memorable moment that exemplifies Gina’s character was when a gentleman walked into the clinic feeling unwell, accompanied by his dog. Without hesitation, Gina quickly assessed his condition, advised him to seek emergency care, and arranged for EMS. But what truly set her apart was how she cared for his dog, rallying the nursing team to help ensure the dog was safe until the patient’s daughter arrived. This selflessness is just one of many examples of how Gina never hesitates to put others first, whether it’s patients or coworkers.

Her compassion extends beyond patients as well. Gina recently demonstrated incredible bravery when a coworker had a medical emergency in the clinic. While others were understandably shaken, Gina took immediate action, providing clinical support, coordinating the response, and offering emotional support to her colleague in a terrifying moment. Her calm, decisive actions helped keep the situation under control, and her empathy provided comfort when it was needed most.

Gina’s impact on the Mercy I Street clinic is immeasurable. As one coworker shared, Gina “consistently anticipates the needs of providers, patients, and co-workers, making sure nothing slips through the cracks.” She ensures that the clinic runs smoothly, always going the extra mile to get patients seen promptly, assist providers, and offer education in a way patients can understand.

Gina’s exceptional ability to care for others—whether it's through providing top-notch patient care, assisting her colleagues in emergencies, or simply offering a kind word when it’s needed most—has earned her deep respect and admiration from everyone who works with her. She truly exemplifies what it means to be compassionate, dedicated, and professional in every way.

For all these reasons and so many more, Gina is so very deserving of the DAISY Award. Thank you, Gina, for everything you do. You make the Mercy family a better place every day, and we are incredibly grateful to have you on our team!
