About the DAISY Foundation
The DAISY Foundation was created in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes. Barnes passed away at the age of 33 due to complications from Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). (ITP is a medical problem in which the body attacks itself.)
The Barnes family was awestruck by the clinical skills, care and compassion of the nurses who cared for Patrick and his family. As a way of saying thank you to nurses everywhere they developed the DAISY Award.
Thank your nurse for exceptional care.
We honor our nurses who went above and beyond at The Everett Clinic, part of Optum, with the internationally recognized DAISY Award. We invite you to nominate a nurse who has given you excellent care.
