Staff Recognition

The DAISY Award

The DAISY Award allows colleagues, patients and patients' families to recognize exceptional nurses and show their appreciation for the important difference they make each day.

The DAISY Foundation was formed in 1999, by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 due to complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). The nursing care Patrick received during his hospitalization truly touched his family because of their experience, they decided they wanted to create an award to honor nurses, who provide extraordinary, compassionate care.

If you have an East Alabama Health nurse that you would like to nominate for a DAISY Award, please click here to submit your nomination.
