Bassett RN Cadence Johnson Honored with Pearl F. Day Award

COOPERSTOWN—On December 4, the Bassett Medical Center Board of Trustees presented Cadence Johnson, RN, with the prestigious 2025 Pearl F. Day Award for excellence in nursing practice. Cadence works in Bassett Medical Center’s Inpatient Surgery Department.

“I am incredibly honored to receive this award,” said Johnson. “To me it means that I am successfully advocating for patients and ensuring that they get the care they need and deserve—and that’s why I became a nurse. It also means that my colleagues see me as a person to go to whenever they have a question or need assistance. And it means that they see the effort I put into bettering myself as a person and as a nurse to provide the best care possible for our patients.”
