DAISY AWARD
Laguna Honda Hospital celebrates excellence in nursing through the DAISY Award
The DAISY Award is an international program started in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Pat’s family experienced first-hand the difference his nurses made through clinical excellence and outstanding care. The family created The DAISY Award to express gratitude to nurses and to enable others to thank their special nurses.
We will honor our first 2021 awardees during this year’s Nursing Week (May 10 - 16).
