Bridgton – Bridgton Hospital Elaine Drew winner of DAISY Award

Aug. 82026

“A specific criterion named by the DAISY Foundation is for a recipient to create a culture that empowers and supports all team members,” Jacques said. “The nurse we are honoring today ensures others around her are acknowledged for their hard work and efforts while quietly standing by, enjoying seeing other nurses and team members be recognized.
“Wherever there is community gathering for the greater good, you can find Elaine. She brings caring for the community to a whole new level.”
