About the DAISY Award
The DAISY Award was initiated four years ago by the parents of Patrick Barnes, a new father who died from a disease attacking his immune system (hence the name “DAISY”). The illness took his life within a few weeks after diagnosis.

According to Patrick's mother, Bonnie, who attended the first DAISY Award ceremony at Genesys, “we got to see day after day, night after night what nurses do. It’s more than the technical skills they provide; it is the compassion and caring they bring to patients and their families. After our experience with our son, we wanted to share our message across the country.”

Once a month, a nurse will receive the DAISY Award. Nominations are generated from thank you letters or patient satisfaction surveys naming an individual or a department. Winners will receive a DAISY pin, a framed certificate, a bouquet of daisies, a hand-carved sculpture called “The Healer’s Touch,” an article in INK (the Genesys employee newsletter) and cinnamon buns for the entire unit.

According to Patrick Barnes’ father, Mark, who also attended the DAISY Award celebration, “Patrick had no appetite, but one day, he ate a cinnamon roll I brought him. He asked me to bring another one, and one for each nurse caring for him.”
