SGMC Health is proud to recognize Amanda Fruth, RN, of the Pearlman Cancer Center, as the April recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. This prestigious award is part of a national program that honors nurses for their exceptional skill, compassion, and dedication to patient care. 

Fruth was nominated by a nurse in SGMC General Surgery at the office of Stephen Zeigler, MD. The nomination describes how she went above and beyond to ensure a vulnerable patient received necessary care without unnecessary hardship. When a wheelchair-bound patient needed a specialized procedure with an implanted port, Fruth didn’t hesitate. She paused her responsibilities at the Cancer Center and made her way, through the rain, to the outpatient clinic to assist.
