Julianne Gray, R.N.(with certificate), Labor & Delivery, is Crozer-Chester Medical Center's DAISY Award winner for September 2021. Julie's nominator, a nervous mother-to-be in labor, said "...and then the day shift nurse came in to introduce herself, her name was Julie. From that point on I had an overwhelming sense of calmness and security knowing she was my nurse. To say she was attentive, caring, knowledgeable, and compassionate would be an understatement." Julie Did all she could to assure her patient's comfort through a trying delivery, to coach her through the rough spots, and to make breastfeeding easier after delivery."With her help, our sweet boy latched almost immediately after birth. I truly don't have enough good things to say about Julie. I honestly don't think I would have gotten through labor and delivery so easily and with little to no anxiety without her by my side. She is a true asset to the labor and delivery team and I hope her supervisors and coworkers know what an extraordinary nurse and human being they have on their team. Any expectant mother would be more than lucky to her have as their nurse. My husband and I appreciate her more than words can explain and will forever remember the impact she had on us and our birth story." Thank you and congratulations, Julie!
