Birthing Center Nurse Wins Thompson’s DAISY Award

Registered nurse Dedevie “Dede” Booth of the Birthing Center at F.F. Thompson Hospital is the latest recipient of The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses from UR Medicine Thompson Health.

Dedevie “Dede” Booth is pictured on the right.

Booth, of Honeoye, was surprised with her award at work on March 2. She was nominated by a young couple grateful for the care and compassion she provided during the birth of their first child this past December. They described her as “phenomenal.”

“She was very knowledgeable and always made sure we knew what to do and how to do it,” they wrote, adding, “she went above and beyond explaining things and making sure we were comfortable and we had everything we needed.”

The couple, who live in Canandaigua, were on hand to see Booth receive her award from hospital administrators and nursing leaders.

Booth was presented with a certificate, a pin, and a hand-carved sculpture called 

A Healer’s Touch

. As a DAISY recipient, she is also eligible for scholarships, discounts on certifications, and medical mission grants from The DAISY Foundation. She is the third recipient of Thompson’s quarterly DAISY award, which is part of a nationwide nurse recognition program.

ARTICLE

 

To celebrate Women's History Month, we asked wine writer and educator Maiah Johnson Dunn to do a follow-up on the Unapologetically Female piece she wrote last year. This time she focused on the women behind the scenes,  the owners, marketers, vineyard managers, and cellar hands that make Finger Lakes Wine Country run.

Developing New Antibiotics

During World War II the scientific communities for the Allies as well as the Axis powers were each desperately searching for the secrets of the class of drugs we now call antibiotics. At this point we have a full range of antibiotics, antibacterials, and antifungals. Countless conditions were now treatable and lives were and are saved. However, as we all realize, nothing is static. Our bodies continue to develop, as do the various organisms we encounter on a daily basis. Read More.

March Birthstones

If you were born in March, you have the choice of two very different birthstones: aquamarine (as the modern designation) and bloodstone (the traditional option). Read more.

St. Patrick's Day Desserts

For the entree, most people have decided on corned beef and cabbage, a nice potato soup, or a shepherd’s pie. So, we are presenting a basic shortbread cookie and three variations of it as well as an Irish tea cake to satisfy the sweet teeth out there. Read More.
