The DAISY Award

About the Award

The DAISY Award for extraordinary nurses recognizes the incredible work that nurses do every day. It was established by the DAISY Foundation, a foundation for the elimination of Diseases Attacking the Immune System in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Mr. Barnes' parents established the foundation in Patrick's memory, because they had experienced first hand the skills as well as the caring and compassion of many nurses.

The award is given monthly to an outstanding nurse in more than 50 hospitals and hospices throughout the country. St. Francis Hospital is proud to be the first in the Columbus area to implement the DAISY Award program.
