Most nurses choose their career because they have a strong desire to comfort and care for those who are sick or in pain. The best validation they can receive is a compliment or thank you from a patient or family member whose lives they touched so deeply.
The DAISY Award is a way for patients and their families, along with co-workers and volunteers, to recognize the extraordinary effort and compassion that our nurses display every day. Kaiser Permanente is a national DAISY Award hospital partner, and regularly recognizes nurses, nurse leaders and teams who meet the award criteria. We also recently awarded the DAISY Award for Nurses Advancing Health Equity.
Congratulations to all our new DAISY Award winners! Thank you for providing extraordinary nursing care, every patient, every time.
