Penn Medicine awarded Pennsylvania Hospital’s Denise Miller RN, BSN, CNOR, the Rosalyn J. Watts Award for Nurse-Patient/Family Relationship. Miller, who is the coordinator for Gamma Knife radiosurgery at Penn Neurosurgery, personifies everything the award stands for.
The Rosalyn J. Watts Award recognizes nurses who consistently establish therapeutic relationships with patients and their families, characterized by individualized care. Knowing their patients, these nurses incorporate religious, spiritual, ethnic and cultural beliefs into the delivery of care.
“Congratulations to Denise on this well-deserved award,” said M. Sean Grady, MD, Penn Neurosurgery chair and Charles Harrison Frazier Professor of Neurosurgery. “She embodies the spirit of the three "A's,” which I consider the pillars of providing superior patient care:
Availability,
Affability and
Ability.”
As part of the Clinical Advancement Recognition Program at Penn Medicine, the Rosalyn J. Watts Award is presented annually to nurses who demonstrate superior contributions to quality patient care, including clinical knowledge and professional achievements.
Congratulations to Denise!
