UT Tyler Palestine Campus 2013 nursing graduate Todi Auker has been recognized for compassionate care and excellence in nursing by East Texas Medical Center in Jacksonville.

She received the 2015 DAISY Foundation Award, which recognizes nurses who go above and beyond in providing excellent care to their patients every day.
