The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the
skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. It was established by
The
DAISY Foundation (Diseases
Attacking the
Immune
SYstem) in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, after he died from complications
of the autoimmune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, his
parents 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.
Please say thank you to those at Baxter Health who made a difference you will never forget! Nominate a Baxter Health nurse or team who cared for you or your family. A DAISY nurse at Baxter Health should treat each patient and family member as important and unique individuals by displaying the following characteristics while in their care:
Quality Care
Compassion
Patient & Family Centered Care
At Baxter Health, individual DAISY Awards are presented quarterly, along with an annual DAISY Team Award, Nursing Leadership Award, and Lifetime Achievement Award.

After receiving care at Baxter Health, many of our patients ask if they
can express their appreciation in some way. They may have noticed the
special attention of a nurse, physician, therapist, technician, food service
worker, volunteer, housekeeper or other caregivers during their stay or
visit. A Heroes with Halos Award is a way to recognize them, along with
an honorarium to
Baxter Health Foundation in any amount can be given to honor. The employee receives a certificate
and badge holder from one or more of the
Senior Leadership Team. It is a highly regarded award, and staff members are honored to receive it.
Baxter Health has recently combined two of its employee recognition programs, Heroes with Halos and The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. Now, when you nominate a nurse at Baxter Health for Heroes with Halos, they will automatically be nominated for The Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses.
