Nominate a Nurse for the DAISY Award
About The DAISY Foundation
The DAISY Foundation was established in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who had died at the age of 33, from complications from auto-immune disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). (DAISY is an acronym for disease attacking the immune system). During Pat’s 8-week hospitalization, his family was awestruck by the care and compassion his nurses provided not only to Pat but to everyone in his family. So they created the foundation in Pat’s memory to recognize extraordinary nurses everywhere who make an enormous difference in the lives of so many people by the super-human work they do every day. To find out more about the program, please visit DAISYfoundation.org.
