2025 DAISY Honorees: Celebrating Nursing Excellence
What is the DAISY Award?
The DAISY Foundation, which stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, honors the extraordinary efforts of nurses like these who make a difference every day. Each DAISY Award Honoree receives:
• A certificate held in a portfolio proclaiming the recipient an "Extraordinary Nurse"
• A DAISY Award pin
• A unique, hand-carved serpentine stone sculpture from Zimbabwe, entitled "A Healer's Touch"
• A Spotlight page on the DAISY website, featuring a photo and story of why this nurse was honored
• A cinnamon roll, symbolizing the appreciation and nourishment provided by the nurses (inspired by Patrick's story, where a simple cinnamon roll made a significant impact on his hospital stay)
