Every day, nurses go above and beyond to deliver not only exceptional clinical care but also heartfelt compassion to patients and their families. At PACHS, we strive to honor their dedication by expressing our deep gratitude for all they do. The DAISY Award is a recognition program designed to celebrate and acknowledge nurses through nominations from patients, families, and colleagues. This is a meaningful way to thank nurses for their outstanding care and kindness.

Nominate a PACHS nurse for the Daisy Award!
Who is Eligible for The Daisy Award?
Any licensed, registered nurse, nursing faculty or nursing student is eligible to be nominated for a DAISY Award. This can include nurses in the clinics, long-term care facilities, surgery, community health, and more. Our recognition program expresses gratitude to nurses wherever they practice, in whatever role they serve, and throughout their careers.
How are Nurses Nominated for The Daisy Award?
Nurses can be nominated by patients, family members, other nurses, physicians, clinicians, or staff – who experience or observe extraordinarily compassionate care being provided by a nurse.
What Happens After Nurses Are Nominated?
The nominations are blinded and sent to an internal committee at PACHS. The committee reads and scores the nominations using criteria that focus on compassion and fit the mission and values of PACHS. Honorees are selected yearly to provide continuous celebration of extraordinary nurses.
After the DAISY Honoree has been selected, a celebration is planned. The Honoree’s peers, leadership, nominator, and sometimes friends and family are all invited to attend. At the presentation, the Honoree receives a certificate in a DAISY portfolio, a beautiful hand-carved Healer’s Touch Sculpture from Zimbabwe, an Honoree pin, flowers, and cinnamon rolls to share. After the presentation, the Honoree is then eligible for numerous professional development, education, and wellness benefits.
