At Carson Tahoe Health, compassionate and dedicated caregivers make a profound difference in the lives of patients and their families. Emilio Magana, a nurse in the ICU, has been recognized for his extraordinary care and commitment by receiving the prestigious DAISY Award—a testament to the impact he has made in the lives of those he serves.
Emilio’s nomination came from the family of a critically ill patient who was admitted to Carson Tahoe with severe bleeding. Over the course of four difficult days and nights, Emilio provided not only expert medical care but also unwavering support, comfort, and kindness to both the patient and their loved ones.
“Emilio was like a breath of fresh air,” the patient’s family member shared in their nomination. “His energy was amazing and positive. He was very sincere and caring. My brother was very well cared for, and Emilio was kind, attentive, and incredibly supportive. He put my brother’s needs as a priority, and we were confident in the care he provided.”
Beyond his clinical expertise, Emilio’s compassion and attentiveness made a lasting impression on the family. “He answered all of our questions and made an extremely stressful situation more manageable with his positive attitude and support. Anyone in his care is lucky to have him.”
The DAISY Award is a nationwide recognition program that honors nurses who go above and beyond to provide exceptional patient care. Emilio embodies the very essence of this award—balancing professionalism with deep humanity, sincerity, and empathy.
“We feel not only does he deserve this award, but he is the perfect example of what it means to be a nurse,” the nomination continued. “We are grateful to have had him in my brother’s corner as he fought to stay alive.”
Congratulations to Emilio Magana for this well-deserved recognition. His dedication and heartfelt care reflect Carson Tahoe Health’s commitment to excellence, making a difference in the lives of patients and their families every day.
