The Grinnell Regional Medical Center invites members
of the public to nominate an outstanding registered nurse (RN) or advanced
practice nurse (ARNP) for The DAISY Award. GRMC
will honor nursing staff during hospital week with The DAISY Award. Nominations
are due Friday, March 23.
The award was
established by The DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died at
age 33 of an auto-immune disease. DAISY stands for “diseases attacking the
immune system.” The DAISY Award recognizes outstanding nurses for their
compassion and care.
GRMC is participating
in this award program with Mercy Health Network of Central Iowa to honor
outstanding nurses. Registered nurses and advanced practice nurses who work in
any GRMC department or clinic are eligible to be nominated to be a GRMC DAISY
Award recipient.
Nomination forms are
available at all GRMC nurse’s stations, human resources, The Light Center for
Public Health, and GRMC clinics.
The DAISY Award will
be presented during Hospital Week, May 7 to 11.
The Mercy Health
Network of Central Iowa will also recognize a DAISY Award RN in June. Those
selected from Mercy Health Network of Central Iowa affiliate hospitals, such as
GRMC, will be considered to be the DAISY Award recipient at the network level.
They will attend a special presentation ceremony in Des Moines and one RN will
be chosen to be the DAISY Award recipient for the entire Mercy Health Network
of Central Iowa.
