Introducing The DAISY Award!

We are kicking off National Nurses Week with one exciting announcement! Magee is partnering with The DAISY Award organization to recognize our extraordinary nurses. Here’s what you need to know!

What is The DAISY Award?

The DAISY Award-Logo-OLThe DAISY Award is presented to nurses whose compassion and clinical skills goes above and beyond. The award was created by the Barnes family in honor of their son, J. Patrick Barnes, who they lost at 33 to an auto-immune disease. The amazing nursing care he received was one of the only highlights during his illness. The family created the award to say thank you for the commitment that exemplary nurses bring to their patients each day.
