BENNINGTON â Southwestern Vermont Medical Center has announced the most recent recipients of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. Patients nominate nurses, and a committee presents one award each month.
âThis is an exceptional group of highly skilled and compassionate professionals,â said Pamela Duchene, vice president of Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer. âThe DAISY Award is a really special way for us to communicate our appreciation and our patientsâ appreciation for their important work.â
An acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem, The DAISY Foundation of Glen Ellen, Calif., was formed in November 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33. The nursing care Patrick received when hospitalized profoundly touched his family.
