2025 DAISY Award Ceremony Honors Extraordinary Nurses

Monadnock Community Hospital celebrated its 2025 DAISY Award Ceremony on June 18, recognizing 20 exceptional nurses for their extraordinary care. The award’s highest honor went to Registered Nurse Zoe Crowley, a Labor and Delivery nurse whose intuition, kindness, and calm presence turned unpredictable births into empowering, positive experiences. 

The event featured remarks from President and CEO Cyndee McGuire, now in her 11th year, and Chief Nursing Officer Vicki Campanile, who shared excerpts from 32 moving nominations. 

“This is a day to celebrate the heart of MCH,” said McGuire. “Our nurses show up every day with compassion, strength, and professionalism that changes lives.”

Group of nurses and hospital staff gathered outside Monadnock Community Hospital to celebrate the 2025 DAISY Award Ceremony, with Zoe Crowley holding flowers and an award at the center.

About the 2025 DAISY Award Recipient – Zoe Crowley

Zoe was nominated by multiple families who praised her attentive, steady presence during long inductions, fast labors, and complicated deliveries. One nominator described how Zoe listened to her body—not just the monitors—and caught their daughter during a fast paced delivery. Another credited Zoe for turning a challenging, multi-day induction into a memory they’ll forever cherish. 

“You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do,” one nomination form read.. “Zoe radiates pride while she works to care for moms and their newborns.” 

Zoe was presented with The Healer’s Touch, a hand-carved stone sculpture symbolizing the nurse-patient bond. 

Each nominee was honored with a DAISY pin and certificate. Their nomination stories highlighted extraordinary kindness—from bringing seawater to a dying patient, to staying late after shift, to offering comfort in emergency situations.
