Nominate an Extraordinary Nurse for the Daisy Award
Do you know a nurse that has gone above and beyond and given extraordinary care? You can nominate them for The Daisy Award.
The DAISY Foundation was created in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 of
complications of an auto-immune disease (hence the name, an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune
System.) Patrick received extraordinary care from his nurses, and his family felt compelled to express their
profound gratitude for the compassion and skill nurses bring to patients and families every day. The DAISY
Award celebrates nurses in over 4,500 healthcare facilities and schools of nursing around the world. For more information about The DAISY Award and the Foundation’s other recognition of nurses, faculty and students, visit www.DAISYfoundation.org.
