The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates
the extraordinary compassionate and skillful care given by nurses every
day. Sierra View Medical Center is proud to be a DAISY Award Partner.
The Daisy Foundation was formed in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes,
who died at age 33 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura
(ITP). The nursing care Patrick received during his eight-week hospitalization
profoundly touched his family. To recognize the extraordinary nurses that
helped them through their darkest hours, Patrick's family created The
DAISY Foundation, standing for
Diseases
Attacking the
Immune
SYstem.
The DAISY Foundation expresses gratitude to Nurses for the extraordinary
compassionate, skillful care they provide patients and families. By honoring
compassionate nurses, DAISY reinforces the importance of compassion in
healthcare. Today, DAISY proudly honors Nurses wherever they practice,
in whatever role they serve, and throughout their careers, from nursing
students through lifetime achievement.
