Recognize a caregiver

DAISY is an acronym for “Diseases Attacking the Immune System.”  The DAISY Award recognizes the extraordinary work nurses do every day. J. Patrick Barnes’ family established the award in his memory to honor the highly skilled and caring nurses who aided him (and them) in his battle against idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP).

DAISY Award honorees personify Roper St. Francis's remarkable patient experience. These nurses consistently demonstrate excellence through their clinical expertise and extraordinary compassionate care. They are recognized as outstanding role models in our local and international nursing communities.

Any teammate, patient or family member may submit a nomination.

The “Be Exceptional Everyday,” or BEE Award is a complementary program to DAISY and is essential to honor those teammates who are in non-licensed roles that provide compassionate care to Roper St. Francis Healthcare’s patients every day. Teammates that can be recognized through BEE might include: physical therapists, dietary staff, administrative staff, lab technicians, imaging staff, housekeepers, transportation aides or nursing assistants, among the many important non-nursing roles that play a critical role in our healthcare system.

Any teammate, patient or family member may submit a nomination.
