She received this award from the Small Business Administration for her leadership and creative business practices.
Daly employs UNK students and teaches them about the pharmaceutical field.
She also helped the Kearney community during the pandemic.
She said she was shocked and humbled to receive the award.
“It was something that didn’t really occur to me because all this time we were putting one foot in front of the other and doing what we needed to do to stay afloat as a business but also deliver the services we’ve set out to us to apply from the beginning, so I didn’t really think about it. But when it happened, it kind of came out of nowhere,” Daly said.
Mayor Stan Clouse was also on hand for the celebration.
He said this achievement is not just for Daly, it shows the Kearney community that having strong local businesses helps feed into the local economy.
“Achieving an award like this really sets the tone for what you can achieve in a community our size and we’re very proud of her,” he said.
Daly told NTV News that she hopes to expand her operation with an addition to her pharmacy to give patients more access to different medicines they may need.
