The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary, compassionate and skillful care provided by nurses every day. An acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem, the DAISY Foundation was formed in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). The nursing care Patrick received when hospitalized profoundly touched his family.

"My experience of being in the hospital at a young age has given me a unique perspective on the types of support they need during what can be a very difficult and scary time,” said Katelyn Tillman.
“The resource fair will give families and professionals an opportunity to stop by and speak face to face with representatives from agencies and organizations who can help to guide them to the resources they need most,” said Michelle McDaniel, USARAN director.
