Division of Nursing DAISY Award
The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses (The DAISY Award) was established by the Daisy Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at the age of 33 of Immune Thrombocytopenic purpura, an autoimmune disease. Patrick’s family brainstormed and wanted to do something in his memory. The family recalled the skillful and compassionate care Patrick received from his nurses during his eight-week hospitalization and wanted to say “thank you” to Nurses everywhere by establishing a recognition program.
