The DAISY Foundation operates within the hospitals and health care sector as an organization dedicated to recognizing nurses, nursing students, and nursing faculty through its award programs. Originating from the Barnes family in 1999, the foundation was created to acknowledge the extraordinary care provided by direct care nurses, with millions of nominations reflecting the impact on patients and families across facilities and nursing schools in the United States and internationally. The programs focus on meaningful recognition as a pathway to improving work environments, nurse satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and broader cultural transformation within healthcare settings.
Based in Anacortes, Washington, the foundation collaborates with a range of partners and institutions to honor exemplary nursing practice. Its activities extend into nursing education and research support through grants, and it maintains partnerships with organizations across the healthcare field, including clinical facilities and professional associations. A recent development note highlights collaborations with other healthcare and professional organizations, underscoring its ongoing role in promoting recognition of compassionate care.
