Newberry Health Hospital is proud to announce that Madison Jenkins, RN, has been named the recipient of the hospital’s Quarterly DAISY Award, a national recognition that honors nurses for their clinical excellence, compassionate care, and dedication to patients and their families.
Madison was nominated by the family member of a patient who expressed heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care she provided:
“Madison took such great care of my mother – like family. She did the most exemplary job and treated her with such respect and care. She worked so hard. I want to know where I could send a note of appreciation – some of the best young nurses I have seen in quite a while. You can tell Madison was raised right.”

The DAISY Award (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) is an international program that celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. At Newberry Health Hospital, one nurse is selected each quarter based on nominations from patients, families, and colleagues who witness the profound impact of their care.
Madison’s nomination highlights not only her clinical expertise, but also her unwavering kindness and personal touch—traits that define what it means to be a nurse at Newberry Health.
“Madison exemplifies the values we hold dear at Newberry Health,” said John Snow, CEO. “She treats every patient with dignity, works with an incredible sense of purpose, and brings warmth and empathy to everything she does. We are truly honored to have her on our team.”
Please join us in congratulating Madison Jenkins on this well-deserved recognition, and in celebrating all the dedicated nurses at Newberry Health who make a difference every single day.
