The MUSC DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award for Nurses is a monthly award and is part of the DAISY Foundation’s program to recognize the
super-human efforts nurses perform every day. The foundation was formed in January 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes
who died of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).
All DAISY Award winners received an African Shona Tribe
sculpture entitled, “A Healer’s Touch,” a framed certificate, and a DAISY Award
pin. The DAISY Foundation also delivered cinnamon rolls to all the nurses in
each winner’s unit.
MUSC is among 400 medical facilities honoring
nurses with The DAISY Award. This is one initiative of the foundation whose
overall goal is to help fight diseases of the immune system.
