The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors outstanding nurses.
Citizens Memorial Hospital/Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation is proud to be a DAISY Award partner since 2019. The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards 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 Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) in 1999. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem. The Barnes Family was awestruck by the clinical skills, caring and compassion of the nurses who cared for Patrick during his hospital stay and created this international award to say thank you to nurses everywhere.
Please say thank you by sharing your story of how a CMH/CMH Foundation nurse made a difference you will never forget. The DAISY Award committee selects one nurse each month who exemplifies the following characteristics:
Each month’s winner receives a DAISY Award honoree pin, a Healer’s Touch hand carved statue, an award certificate, copy of the nomination, and DAISY bag. In addition, the selected nurse’s unit/department/clinic/facility receives a banner to post for the month and freshly baked cinnamon rolls for everyone on the day the award is presented.
