Lindeque was nominated by Staci Holder, a recent patient in GIRMC’s Maternity Department. She wrote:
“I came in to be induced. I had Kyla from the beginning until the birth and she was absolutely amazing! I wholeheartedly believe that my experience at GIRMC was as great as it was because of her! She made sure all my needs were met and exactly what I wanted. She bonded with me and all my support group that was there. She knew exactly what would work for me to help me along the process. Always reassuring me of how amazing I was doing to keep me going.

“I was so sad when her shift ended because I knew I wouldn’t see her again. I came in absolutely terrified for my second induction because my first one was a nightmare. This time was an absolute dream compared to my last! And she was a huge part of that.”
Angie Friesen, chief nursing officer, said she was first acquainted with Lindeque during her nursing orientation at the hospital, when she was serving as the clinical educator.
“From that first day it was clear that Kyla had exceptional attention to detail as well as a kind and caring attitude that exuded through her constant smile. Kyla has received many compliments regarding her nursing care as well as teamwork in our maternity services unit.”
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, California, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Barnes died age of 33 in 1999 from complications of idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little-known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
