Honoring extraordinary nurses

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune Systems) Award recognizes nurses for their dedication to patients and families. It honors the legacy of Patrick Barnes, who passed away from an autoimmune disorder known as ITP. 

The DAISY Award is the first of its kind to give patients, families and colleagues a way to express their gratitude for the compassionate care that nurses provide. 

Today, you’ll find DAISY Award winners across the world and right here at Gundersen Boscobel. We invite you to share your story.
