DAISY Award for Extraordinary NursesCapital Health is proud to partner with the DAISY Foundation to present the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. The DAISY Award was created to recognize nurses for their compassion and dedication demonstrated on the job every day.

DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The Foundation was formed in November, 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).

Patrick's family was so impressed with the amazingly compassionate care he received from nurses during his eight-week hospitalization they sought to honor his memory and acknowledge the incredible care he received. The family felt compelled to express their profound gratitude to nurses for the work they do for patients and their families every day. This is the primary mission of The DAISY Foundation.

This award allows patients, families, and colleagues to recognize the work of exceptional nurses by nominating them for this achievement.

What sets a DAISY Award-winning nurse apart?

The DAISY Award recognizes and celebrates the extraordinary compassionate and skillful care given by nurses every day.
