The DAISY Award is an international recognition program started in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Pat’s family experienced first-hand the difference his nurses made in his care through clinical excellence and outstanding compassionate care. The family created The DAISY Award to express gratitude to nurses and to enable other patients, families, and staff to thank and honor their special nurses.

Congratulations to Hillsboro Health's first winner of The DAISY Award. Julie Smith, RN, BSN, CNOR, has been recognized for the extraordinary nursing care she provides. We are very proud of, and grateful to, all of our nurses who were nominated throughout the year--they truly make a difference in the lives of the patients and family they touch.
