The DAISY Awards are an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the extraordinary care, compassion, and clinical skill provided by nurses. Created in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who passed away from complications of an autoimmune disease, the award expresses gratitude to nurses for the meaningful difference they make in patients’ and families’ lives every day. It highlights the vital role of nursing in healthcare and serves as a reminder of the importance of kindness, dedication, and excellence in patient care.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is a prestigious international program established in 1999 by the Barnes family to honor nurses who provide exceptional, compassionate, and skillful care. It is now celebrated in over 5,000 healthcare facilities and nursing schools across the globe. Nurses who receive the award are nominated by patients, families, or colleagues, and winners are recognized with a certificate, a “Healer’s Touch” hand-carved statue, and public acknowledgement within their organization. The program not only highlights individual excellence but also fosters a culture of appreciation, reminding nurses that their dedication and compassion have a profound impact on patients and communities.
