DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses

Honor the compassion and care bedside nurses provide their patients every day

The DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 of ITP, an auto-immune disease. The Barnes family was awestruck by the clinical skills, caring and compassion of the nurses who cared for him. They created this national award to say thank you to nurses everywhere.

By filling out this form, you are nominating a nurse as a deserving recipient of the DAISY Award. This nurse's clinical skill and especially her/his compassionate care exemplify the kind of nurse that our patients, their families, and our staff recognize as an outstanding role model. She/he consistently meets all of the following Providence Core Values: Justice, Excellence, Compassion, Respect and Stewardship.
