VALPARAISO, IN (June 27, 2016) – Porter Health Care System recently honored one of its nurses through its annual Patient Choice Award program. The prestigious award recognizes the level of quality care, comfort and compassion offered by nurses each day.
This year, Porter is pleased to announce Dana Masty, R.N., (shown at right) as the 2016 Patient Choice Award winner.
Masty has been a nurse at Porter Regional Hospital for 40 years, with the last 30 in the Emergency Department. She was honored to be named this year’s recipient. “I’m just in complete shock,” shared Masty. “I didn’t see this coming. I just love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else. There are many nurses here who deserve this recognition because they are all so good to their patients.”
Patient Choice Award winners are selected after a careful review of hundreds of nominations sent each year from former patients and family members who want to nominate an exceptional nurse who directly impacted their lives with outstanding care. “Meeting this wonderful Charge Nurse was the best thing that ever happened to me. I met her when she was my nurse at the old Porter Hospital location on Laporte Avenue,” wrote the patient who nominated Masty and remembers the comfort she gave him years ago. “I feel that ER nurses never get enough recognition for the long hours that they put in at Porter Regional Hospital.”
Porter Health Care System has two hospital campuses and seven outpatient facilities serving Porter, Lake, LaPorte, Starke and Jasper counties. With more than 350 physicians representing 50 medical specialties, Porter Health Care System is committed to medical excellence and personalized, patient-centered care. Porter is directly or indirectly owned by a partnership that proudly includes physician owners, including certain members of the hospital’s medical staff.
