Campbell County Health has partnered with the DAISY Foundation to recognize
our excellent nurses in Northeast Wyoming!
The Daisy Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates
the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses
every day.
How to Nominate a Nurse?
Campbell County Health nurses may be
nominated by patients, families, and colleagues.
The award recipient is chosen by a committee at Campbell County Health
to receive The DAISY Award. Awards are presented throughout the year at
celebrations attended by the Honoree’s colleagues, patients, and
visitors. Each Honoree receives a certificate commending them as an "Extraordinary
Nurse." Honorees also receive a DAISY Award pin and a beautiful and
meaningful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch, hand-carved by artists
of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe.
Honorees can be found in the DAISY Award section of the Health Connect Blog.
About the DAISY Foundation
The
DAISY Foundation is a nonprofit established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, by members
of his family. For those who don’t know, DAISY is an acronym for
Diseases Attacking the Immune System. Patrick died at 33 years old in
1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP),
a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick
and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this award
for those nurses who make a profound difference in the lives of their
patients and families. Learn more about the DAISY Foundation at
