Thanking Nurses
The DAISY Award honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day.
The family of J. Patrick Barnes established the DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, the Barnes family sincerely 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.
The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that was developed to honor nurses for demonstrating clinical skill, compassionate care, exemplary service, and a commitment to excellence.
“In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people.”
