Recent DAISY Honorees Recognized

First Friday Hero Program Re-Launches

Honoring local first responders who go above and beyond the call of duty

In March, Piedmont Newnan Hospital will re-launch its First Friday Hero program, and honor local first responders who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Piedmont Newnan created the First Friday Hero program in April 2019, but took a pause at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the hospital and community were stretched on resources.

“We are excited to restart this program and recognize those in our community that make a positive difference in every life they touch,” said Vicki Kaiser, COO at Piedmont Newnan. “It is heartwarming to read all the nominations we receive and learn about how our first responders go above and beyond to help those in our local communities get the help they need.”

The First Friday Hero program is designed to recognize first responders on a monthly basis who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Their line of work is often a thankless job and Piedmont Newnan wants to make the community aware of our local heroes and all they do to make Coweta County and our surrounding communities a better and safer place.
