About The Daisy Award®

DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY Foundation was formed by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), an auto-immune disease, in 1999. Touched by the care and compassion of the nurses who took care of him, his family developed recognition programs to honor and celebrate direct care nurses, nursing faculty, and nursing students.

Both programs are designed to be:

  • A partnership to provide ongoing recognition to nursing faculty and nursing students.
  • Flexible so that the award may be tailored to align with culture, mission, and values.
  • A simple-to-implement initiative with The DAISY Foundation provides almost everything you need to run the program.
