The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day.

The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way.

The DAISY Nurse Leader Award is designed to recognize those who do not typically have direct patient care as part of their work (e.g. - Nurse Managers, Directors, Assistant Nurse Manager, Charge Nurses, Educators, CNS, CNE, Case Managers, Informatics, and roles with administrative authority/ direct reports)

Nurse Leaders are recognized for:

Creating an environment where attributes of trust, compassion, mutual respect, continued professional development and ethical behavior are modeled and support
Being accessible, available, and responsive to the needs of the team
Problem-solving and encouraging critical thinking
Advocating for their teams
Ensuring that the needs of the teams are communicated to organizational leadership and organizational priorities and directions are communicated to their teams
Being compassionate leaders
