Hospice Nurse Linda Collier Honored with DAISY Lifetime Achievement Award

SSM Health at Home nurse Linda Collier, RN, has received the DAISY Lifetime Achievement Award for her decades of compassionate hospice care.

Known for her calm presence and dedication, Collier often went above and beyond for patients and families — even cutting up a fallen tree limb for one grieving family with help from her husband.

“She lives the mission every day,” said a colleague. With retirement nearing, her presence will be deeply missed by both the SSM team and the many lives she touched.
