Thank a Nurse Today!

We’ve partnered with the DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation as a way to honor our nurses who are making a positive impact on their patients and coworkers.

The DAISY Award was established in memory of Patrick Barnes, who passed away from complications of an autoimmune disease called Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), to honor the extraordinary compassion nurses provide every day. During one of the darkest times in their lives, Patrick’s family deeply appreciated the clinical care and kindness they received. What began as a family’s tribute to honor Patrick’s memory has since grown into a global program that celebrates exceptional nursing and the support shown to not only patients and their families during challenging moments.

We’d love to hear how a nurse has impacted you! Complete the nomination form below to share your nurse’s story.
