Pella Regional Health Center announces that Lindie Olson, of Oskaloosa, in the Family Birthing Center at Pella, is a DAISY recipient.

The DAISY program is a national award, given at the local level, to registered nurses who exemplify extraordinary nursing. The focus is on the special touches and human consideration that these nurses give to their patients. Olson received a certificate and a sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists of the Shona Tribe in Africa.
