Traci Wiley

Traci Wiley, RN, works in the Birth Center. Wiley was honored as a DAISY Award recipient for Extraordinary Nurses at Mason Health’s inaugural DAISY Award Ceremony on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.

“The nominations we received for this first quarter were all incredibly amazing,” said ICU Supervisor Nadine Cram, a co-chair of Mason Health’s DAISY Awards Committee. “We want to congratulate Traci for the amazing work she has done.”

Wiley’s nominator shared this story: “Traci helped me while I was delivering my first baby, she was there for me when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. She took care of me and my baby and was so kind and compassionate. We established a lovely relationship in the weeks following that delivery as I needed additional postpartum care. She was also extremely helpful in researching a condition my child had been born with that the other medical professionals didn’t really know about. When it was time to have my second child I was absolutely at ease when I knew Traci was on shift and could be there to assist me in that delivery. This was during the height of COVID and that brought forth a whole different set of complications, but she was there for me when my family couldn’t be. Traci advocated for me and my children, she was empathetic and helpful and really put me at ease. Being in labor has a way of taking your dignity and modesty, and Traci made sure I never felt embarrassed and that I was comfortable throughout the process. It was truly life changing care, and I’m so thankful for her.”

The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is part of the national DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate care that nurses provide patients and families every day.
