The text reads 'The DAISY Award™ FOR EXTRAORDINARY NURSES' in white and yellow, with a smaller line below stating 'IN MEMORY OF J. PATRICK BARNES.'The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem) Award™ is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way.

The BEE Award is often presented alongside the DAISY Award, a nationally recognized award for nurses, to highlight the essential teamwork in a healthcare setting.
