The DAISY Award was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, to celebrate the extraordinary compassion nurses provide their patients and families every day. It was the first program of its kind to give patients, families, and co-workers a way to express their gratitude to nurses. This award now honors nurses internationally in Barnes’ memory.
