With the North Dakota Hospital Association, we're thrilled to announce that Barbara Stadheim from West River Health Services has been selected as the inaugural NDHA DAISY Nurse Leader of the Year! Barb's dedication and expertise have made her a trusted resource for new nurses, and her numerous nursing leadership positions at West River Health Services truly showcase her impact.

Despite her commitment to family time, Barb has consistently answered the call to serve and support the facility. Her selflessness is truly inspiring!

Director of Nursing, Seth Fisher, shared his personal experience, saying, "I'll never forget the night Barb stayed with me in the ICU when I was a new nursing leader. In a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, it's reassuring to have Florence Nightingales like her among us, preserving the future of nursing."

Let's celebrate Barb's incredible achievement as she receives the prestigious NDHA DAISY Nurse Leadership Award at our upcoming Nurse Leadership Conference next week. 

Stay tuned for more updates, and join us in applauding Barb for her outstanding contributions to the nursing profession!
