San Leandro nurses gather for a DAISY celebration.
Transformational Leadership

Celebrating our San Leandro Medical Center nurses

Through our awards programs, we recognize nurses and care partners who exemplify excellence and provide high-quality, compassionate care to our members and patients.

The DAISY Nurse Leader Award

The DAISY Nurse Leader Award shines a light on nurse leaders — directors, managers, assistant managers, and educators — who don’t generally have direct patient care as part of their work and create an environment where compassionate, skillful care thrives.

PETAL Award

The Performing Exceptional Tasks and Affirming Lives (PETAL) Award honors our partners in care.
