DAISY Award Recipient
Congratulations Amanda on being a DAISY Award recipient!

The DAISY Foundation was started in memory of Patrick Barnes who passed away in 1999 from complications of the autoimmune disease, ITP. His family wanted to turn their grief into something positive and create something that would capture Pat’s very special spirit. They created the DAISY Foundation, DAISY being an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. Their mission became to express gratitude to nurses with programs that recognize them for the extraordinary skillful, compassionate care they provide patients and families.
