Infusion team gets DAISY award

PORT ANGELES — The DAISY Foundation has recognized the staff at Olympic Medical Cancer Center’s infusion team with its DAISY award.

The team members are Julie Larson, Amber Frehner, Shawn Gould, Becky Haskins, Nicole Janssen, LeAnn Johnson, Marcia Limoges, Dottie Maupin, Deanna Piper, Janlyn Robinson, Jenni Sayles, Kate Sayles and Melinda Straub.

The infusion team provides chemotherapy treatments to cancer patients.

The award recognizes the extraordinary, compassionate nursing care provided to patients and families. The foundation, which takes its name from the acronym Diseases Attacking the Immune System, was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in 1999 from complications of the auto-immune disease idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
