OLYMPIA FIELDS, Illinois - Franciscan Health Olympia Fields recognized Julie M. Lindley, RN, as its latest Daisy Award recipient.

A three-year registered nurse serving in the hospital’s Medical/Surgical/Oncology/Telemetry unit, Lindley was nominated by a grateful former patient, who described the Plainfield resident as a blessing to all patients.

"I just wanted to thank Julie for the wonderful love, support and care that she gave me during my hospitalization at Olympia Fields," the patient wrote. "Her kindness, smile, and her way of going the 'extra mile' helped my recovery so much. Since I've been discharged, I miss talking with Julie, and her wonderful, warm personality along with her smile."

The patient wrote the hospital, as well as a thank you note to Lindley for her care and attention.

The patient continued, "Thank you again for everything. It was such a pleasure in meeting a wonderful person such as yourself. I am sure you are a blessing to all your patients as you have been to me."
