The DAISY Award Logo

The DAISY Award is an international recognition program started in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Pat’s family experienced first-hand the difference his nurses made in his care through clinical excellence and outstanding compassionate care. The family created The DAISY Award to express gratitude to nurses and to enable other patients, families, and staff to thank and honor their special nurses.

The DAISY Award® recognizes those who go above and beyond every day, providing excellence in care and compassion. Patients and their family members can nominate nurses who they feel deserve recognition for their outstanding care.

Has a nurse gone above and beyond for you or your loved one? Nominate them!
