DAISY Award recipient Elizabeth Walker, RN
The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate care nurses provide patients and families every day.
Winners can be nominated by patients, patients’ family or friends, or fellow caregivers for their exemplary care.
Walker, a nurse for Griffin Hospital inpatient units, was nominated by a patient’s family member for her continual compassion and support.
“Beth is so patient and helped explain my mom’s treatment plan at a time when we were scared. She was able to answer all our questions and put us at ease,” the nomination for Walker stated. “I could see her peers love and respect Beth and look to her for direction. Her compassion for my mom and her family, her willingness to answer our questions, put us at ease and getting to know her has made this difficult time in our lives a bit easier. She is another ‘Angel on Earth.’”
Information about the DAISY Award is included in Griffin Health patient information packets and nomination forms are available online and at all Griffin Health locations.
The award recipients are chosen by a committee at Griffin and the award is presented throughout the year.

About The DAISY Foundation
The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, by members of his family.
Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease.
DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.
The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
