Bayhealth’s Amanda Long, RN, Earns DAISY Ethics Award for Providing Compassionate Care

Bayhealth’s Kent Campus recognized Amanda Long, RN, as its May 2025 DAISY Ethics Award winner. This national award program recognizes the extraordinary compassion and care nurses provide to their patients and families every day.

Long is a nurse in the Patient Care Med/Surg department and was nominated by attending physician Daniel Uibel, MD.

“Amanda went above and beyond to show compassion to one of our patients and truly changed this patient's life. Her consistent support and dedication have shown this patient that she has value and gave the patient a new outlook on her self-worth,” said Dr. Uibel.

When a delicate bedside approach was needed, Amanda stepped up with compassion and creativity. She built trust with a fearful patient by talking with her, holding her hands, printing photos of doctors and labeling them 'good' so the patient felt safe during her stay, adds. Dr. Uibel.

The DAISY Award is given by the DAISY Foundation, which was formed in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes. DAISY Award honorees are chosen by nurses, administrators, peers, physicians, volunteers, patients and families.
