About the DAISY Award

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, Patrick’s family were deeply moved by the comfort and compassion shown by his nurses to their entire family. When he passed, they felt compelled to create the DAISY Foundation to honor his legacy and say “thank you” to deserving nurses.
