Rise Nurse Care Coordinator Kelly Robinson was recently presented with The DAISY Team Award by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Robinson is the founder of the Minnesota chapter of Black Nurses Rock, a group that provided valuable medical expertise and assistance with COVID-19 testing, PPE and vaccines during the past year. The group was also instrumental in helping keep people safe during George Floyd’s funeral last June.

The award, created by The DAISY Foundation, a group that celebrates extraordinary nursing, applauds Robinson and her colleagues’ compassion and skills.
