The DAISY Award
We are proud to collaborate with The DAISY Foundation™ to recognize the compassion and dedication of outstanding nurses year-round. The DAISY Award program shines a light on everyday heroes who make a positive difference in the lives of patients and their communities. By acknowledging their empathy and commitment, we hope to inspire others and cultivate a culture that appreciates the invaluable contributions of nurses. Together, we celebrate the essence of compassionate care in the nursing profession.
What is The DAISY Award?
The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. The family of J. Patrick Barnes established the DAISY Foundation after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way. To learn more, visit DAISYFoundation.org
