Daisy Awards

At Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Frisco, we are committed to recognizing the compassion, skill, and dedication our nurses bring to patients and families each day. The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors nurses who go above and beyond in their care.

The award was created by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who passed away from a rare autoimmune disease. During Patrick’s hospitalization, his family was deeply moved by the extraordinary compassion and clinical excellence of his nurses. To honor his memory, they established the DAISY Foundation and created the DAISY Award to celebrate the meaningful difference nurses make in the lives of others.

We are proud to join more than five thousand health care facilities worldwide in recognizing extraordinary nursing care through the DAISY Award.
