The Daisy Award
Recognizing the Most Extraordinary Nurses
Advanced Diagnostics Has To Offer

At Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare System, we believe that exceptional care begins with compassion. The DAISY Award is a national recognition program that honors nurses who exemplify clinical excellence and heartfelt service—those who go beyond routine care to make a lasting impact on patients, families, and colleagues.
Founded by the Barnes family in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, the DAISY Foundation celebrates nurses who demonstrate the art and science of healing through their everyday actions. These honorees often say, “I was just doing my job,” but their patients and peers see something extraordinary in the way they care, connect, and lead.
Enhancing the Advanced Diagnostics Name
The DAISY Award helps nurses recognize the power of their presence and the difference they make in the lives of others. It reinforces the values we hold at ADHS: empathy, excellence, and integrity in every interaction.
Recognition That Resonates
Each DAISY Award recipient is honored at a formal ceremony hosted by Advanced Diagnostics Healthcare System, where they are celebrated by their peers, leaders, and the broader care team. These events are a moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the profound impact of nursing on our community.
