Daisy Award for Frontline Nurses
A new program, launched by Private Nursing Services, aims to recognize its nurses with the globally recognized DAISY Award. This award honors nurses for their exceptional dedication to and service within their field.
The family of Patrick Barnes, who tragically passed away at the age of 33 after an eight-week fight with the deadly autoimmune disease Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), launched the DAISY Award in 1999. DAISY is an acronym for "Diseases Attacking the Immune System." Following Patrick's death, his family wanted to thank nurses from the bottom of their hearts in a very special way. Currently, the award is accepted at more than 6500 healthcare facilities and 31 nursing schools worldwide.
