Daisy Award Kendra Carroll, B.S.N., R.N., R.N.C., M.N.N., CRMH, Lactation Center
Congratulations Kendra Carroll, B.S.N., R.N., R.N.C., M.N.N., on receiving the Daisy Award!
When a patient was having trouble breastfeeding their baby, Kendra Carroll came to
the rescue. When the new mom arrived on the mother/baby unit, Kendra was one of
the first on the unit to greet the patient and check-in with her. Kendra noticed that the
baby had what appeared to be a tongue tie and consulted with the pediatrician. Her
consult with the pediatrician resulted in an otolaryngologist meeting with the patient.
Kendra made sure to be there for the consult and upon learning that the
otolaryngologist did not believe that there was enough to clip, Kendra immediately
helped the patient by researching local otolaryngologists in the area who could
successfully correct the issue. Because of her recommendation, the patients mother
went and saw a different ENT outpatient who immediately saw the issue and corrected
it successfully!
"I'm so thankful for Kendra for going out of her way to help me even after being
discharged from the hospital. She's so good at what she does and I know her
patients appreciate her dedication."
