  • Honors & Awards

    • Awarded to Leigh Durlacher
      The Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses The Daisy Foundation “Leigh was not just my nurse that day. They were my advocate, educator, ally, and friend.”So incredibly honored to have received this award. More than that, receiving this feedback from a patient is incredible. It shows me that the impact I have is the one I intend to: to empower patients and all parts of them, to advocate for them, and to bring forward and prioritize their voices in an always complex, often challenging situation. Grateful is an understatement.
