The DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at 33 of ITP, an auto-immune disease. The Barnes Family was awestruck by the clinical skills, caring and compassion of the nurses who cared for Patrick, so they created this national award to say thank you to nurses everywhere. St. Elizabeth, St. Joseph and St. Elizabeth Boardman are proud to be hospital partners with the DAISY Award Hospital Partners, recognizing one registered nurse from each facility with this special honor every quarter.

About the DAISY Foundation The DAISY Foundation was established in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died of complications of the auto-immunte disease Idopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) at the age of 33. (DAISY is an acronym for diseases attaching the immune system). During Patrick’s eight week hospitalization, his family was awestruck by the care and compassion his nurses provided, not only to Patrick but also to everyone in his family. So one of the goals they set in creating a foundation in Pat’s memory was to recognize extraordinary nurses everywhere who make an enormous difference in the lives of so many people by the super-human work they do everyday.
