Kitto receives nurse recognition award

Brittney Kitto, a nurse in the medical surgical care unit at Pullman Regional Hospital recently received a DAISY Award, a nurse excellence program at the hospital. The award is an international program that recognizes nurses who go above and beyond to care for patients. Every quarter, nominations are sent from Pullman Regional Hospital patients and their families. Kitto was nominated for her “compassionate and calming presence” and “the over-and-above effort she puts into taking care of each patient, especially at end of life stages.” Shown here with Kitto are Beau Burnham and Lori Miller, son and sister of the late Vicki Burnham of Pullman and a former Palouse resident. They were among those who nominated Kitto.
