Hovnanian Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, were Jersey Shore’s first ever recipients of the award.

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem) Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. Anyone can nominate a Jersey Shore University Medical Center nurse, including; other team members, physicians, patients or their families, and guests. Recipients receive a certificate recognizing them as an extraordinary nurse, DAISY award pin, a unique Healer’s Touch stone sculpture, spotlight page on the DAISY Foundation web site, and the recipient’s unit is treated to cinnamon rolls. Two nurses are selected each month to receive DAISY awards.

The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way. To learn more, visit DAISYFoundation.org.
