October 2025 DAISY Award Recipient

Delaine Flores RN Oct Daisy

 

Delaine Flores, RN, 3rd Floor Vineyard Tower DOU Telemetry
DAISY Award – October 2025

Delaine joined San Antonio just two years ago, but brings with her more than 25 years of nursing experience, starting as an LVN. From the beginning she knew the kind of nurse she wanted to be: one who makes every patient feel seen, heard, and safe in her care. Delaine empowers her patients to take an active role in their own healing and well-being. Recently, she was nominated for the DAISY Award by a grateful family member whose loved one was under her care. They shared, “I have never been so compelled to recognize someone for their service. My brother-in-law was in Delaine’s care. She was completely on top of every situation that arose. She worked tirelessly--sometimes for hours at a time—all the while being friendly and supportive. Her clinical knowledge was like nothing I have ever seen. What a truly exemplary representative of your hospital.”

Congratulations, Delaine!
