Cancer Center Nurse Receives DAISY Award

BENNINGTON, VT—June 4, 2024— SVMC honored a Cancer Center nurse with the prestigious DAISY Award, during National Nurses Week in early May. 

Kelly Czarnecki, BSN, RN received SVMC’s DAISY Award in May, coinciding with a seven-day recognition and celebration of the health system's incredible team of nurses.

Kelly, who is a nurse in the Dartmouth Cancer Center at SVMC, was nominated by a patient’s family member, who said Czarnecki has shown “compassion, knowledge and the utmost care.” The family member explained that Czarnecki’s kindness calms any anxiety her patients may be feeling and that she “goes above and beyond.”

The DAISY Award is an international recognition program honoring clinical excellence and outstanding compassionate care provided by nurses.

The Centers for Living and Rehabilitation

On Thursday afternoon, James Buccolo, a patient who had been recovering from COVID-19 at the Center’s for Living and Rehabilitation for several weeks, was discharged. A large group of CLR’s staff gathered outside and cheered him as he left. He turned around to them and made a short speech of thanks. See part of it here.

This touching story is just one small example of the important work happening at both of SVHC’s nursing facilities: the Centers for Living and Rehabilitation in Bennington and the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Hoosick Falls. These places offer even more than exceptional health care. They offer a home and a family to many.

During National Skilled Nursing Care Week, we express humbling gratitude to the professionals who work with our elders and those with disabilities in our long-term and sub-acute care facilities. Their work requires skill and commitment. To do the job well, they know, also requires them to dedicate their whole hearts to it. And they do, every day.
