Augusta University Health Operating Room

Feature Friday✨Meet the Dynamic Duo of the Adult OR, Danny and Daly!

Danny Kennamer, RN, has been working in the Adult OR for 8 years. Before the operating room he was an ICU nurse for 5 years, with experience in both Medical and Surgical ICU specialties. He has put in his time and it shows, Danny has it going on! His hobbies include all things sports and with that said, GO BRAVES!

Daly Jernigan, RN, has been a part of the Adult OR for a little more than a year. His career prior to the OR was spent in the ED, here at AU. He has truly been a great addition to our team and we are elated to have him. Daly's hobbies include all things golf, he is basically a pro and played some of the CSRA's most prestigious courses.

Both of these guys always strive to do and be their best, and give each and every patient the one on one attention and experience they deserve. The Adult OR wouldn't be the same without them. THANK YOU, Danny and Daly, the Adult OR would be pretty boring without you both 🙌

It's Feature Friday✨

Meet our "Average Joe"--He is far from average and makes our Cardio/Thoracic world go-round 💖 We are proud to say he has been a part of the Augusta University Health Operating Room since July 2021.

"I've been an OR nurse for 28 years and my specialty is definitely Cardiac & Thoracic surgery! I really like the OR because we truly are a tightly knit team and it's a unique place where I can provide that one-on-one care experience and advocacy to patients when they are most vulnerable, albeit they may not remember due to anesthesia. I'm an active member of AORN. I love good food and drink, the company of friends, family & my dog Mitzi! Just your ordinary average Joe." -- Joseph "Joe" Flanders, BSN, RN, CNOR, CNIII

Thank you, Joe, for sharing your story and being a part of the AU OR Family!
