The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation™ was created in 1999 by the family of
J. Patrick Barnes to say “thank you” to nurses for the care and compassion they experienced during his illness and at the end of his life. The foundation has grown over the years and expresses gratitude to nurses with programs to honor them wherever they practice, in whatever role they serve, and throughout their careers. Today, The DAISY Award® is embedded in thousands of healthcare facilities and schools of nursing, internationally.

Island Health is pleased to recognize the exceptional work of our nursing team each quarter through the DAISY award.
