The Daisy Award Honorees personify Monadnock Community Hospital’s remarkable
patient experience. These nurses consistently demonstrate excellence and extraordinary compassionate care. They are recognized as outstanding role models in our community.
The DAISY Foundation was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died from complications of the autoimmune disease Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP) at the age of 33. “DAISY” is an acronym for the diseases that attack the immune system. During Pat’s 8-week hospitalization, his family was awestruck by the care and compassion his nurses provided not only to Pat, but to everyone in his family. So, one of the goals they set when creating a foundation in Pat’s memory was to recognize extraordinary nurses everywhere who make a significant, positive impact on the people they serve and the healthcare communities in which they work.
What is The DAISY Award?
The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses every day. Monadnock Community Hospital is proud to be a DAISY Award Partner by recognizing one of our nurses annually with this special honor.
Each DAISY Award Honoree will be recognized at a public ceremony in his or her nursing unit and will receive a beautiful certificate, a DAISY Award pin, and a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled, “A Healer’s Touch.”
Additionally, everyone in the Honoree’s unit will enjoy Cinnabon® cinnamon rolls—a favorite of Patrick’s during his illness. The Barnes Family asks that whenever and wherever Nurses smell that wonderful cinnamon aroma, they stop for a moment and think about how special they are.
