RRMC nurses honored with DAISY Award for extraordinary nurses

Mon, 05/15/2023 - 23:50 by tim

Vermont Business Magazine Perhaps the greatest recognition for a nurse to receive is the DAISY Award and especially during National Nurses Week. Rutland Regional celebrated four extraordinary nurses and one nurse team this week at a ceremony in the hospital gardens with nurse leaders, nursing staff and patients and their families. The DAISY (an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Foundation was started in Glen Allen, California by family members of J. Patrick Barnes, who died from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little-known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. As a way of thanking Barnes’ nurses, his family established the award program to recognize the super-human efforts nurses everywhere perform every day.
