Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center has honored registered nurse Teresita Aquino as its DAISY Award winner for February.

Aquino was nominated by a co-worker, who describes her as soft-spoken and calm. Her patients have said she makes them feel comfortable because of how she explains complicated medical terminology to them in a way they can understand, according to a news release.

“Teresita exemplifies the nursing profession. She not only has a wealth of knowledge, but approaches her patients with kindness and humility,” said Aaron Thorne, director of nursing for critical care and step down units.
