DAISY Award Nominations
The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses everyday. Crestwood Medical Center is proud to be a DAISY Award Hospital partner, recognizing one of our nurses with this special honor every month.
About the DAISY Foundation
The DAISY Foundation was established in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of complications of an autoimmune disease at the age of 33. During Patrick’s hospitalization, his family was awestruck by the care and compassion his nurses provided not only to Pat, but also to the entire family.
Nominate a Nurse
Each DAISY Award honoree will be recognized at a public ceremony on his or her unit, and will receive a certificate, a DAISY Award pin and a beautiful hand-carved stone sculpture. Additionally, the honoree will celebrate with cinnamon rolls – a favorite of Patrick’s during his illness.
Patients, visitors, nurses, physicians and employees are welcome to nominate a deserving nurse for The DAISY Award. If you have been the recipient of extraordinary care by a nurse and would like to nominate him or her, you can do so by submitting a written narrative via email. Please include the name of the nurse you are nominating, the unit where the nurse works and your story of extraordinary care.
