The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors extraordinary nurses who make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and families every day. Established in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, the award was created to express gratitude for the exceptional compassion, skill, and dedication nurses provide during some of life’s most challenging moments. DAISY, an acronym forDiseases Attacking the Immune System, reflects the experience that inspired this lasting tribute to nursing excellence.
Edgerton Hospital & Health Services is proud to partner with The DAISY Foundation to recognize nurses who exemplify compassionate, patient-centered care, outstanding clinical expertise, and a lasting positive impact on those they serve. Patients, visitors, physicians, fellow nurses, and employees are invited to help celebrate these remarkable caregivers.To nominate a deserving nurse, please submit a DAISY Award nomination form.
