This is an annual recognition event held every year during Nurses' Week.
All Baxter Regional staff have the opportunity to nominate a nurse who
has demonstrated excellence in their area of practice. These nurses exhibit
exemplary behaviors and go above and beyond caring for their peers and/or
patients. This is a special event for nursing to come together and celebrate
with their peers, friends, and family. From the nominations, the Baxter
Choice Award Committee chooses special recipients to receive the Servant's
Heart Award. The award is symbolic of their selfless giving to the profession
of nursing.
The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the
skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. It was established by the
DAISY Foundation (Diseases
Attacking the
Immune
SYstem) in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, after he died from complications
of the auto-immune disease ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, his
parents deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and
his entire family. When he died, they felt compelled to say “thank
you” to nurses in a very public way.
As quoted in The
DAISY White Paper,
Inspiring Nurses to See the Extraordinary in their Ordinary, “These nurses demonstrate a depth of understanding of what it means
to tune into the highly variable needs of people who are vulnerable and
suffering. These nurses are technically proficient, of course, but it
is their relational proficiency that moves the patient/family experience
into the realm of the extraordinary.”
Please say thank you to those at Baxter Regional who made a difference
you will never forget! Nominate a Baxter Regional Medical Center nurse

Heroes with Halos
After receiving care at Baxter Regional, many of our patients ask if they
can express their appreciation in some way. They may have noticed the
special attention of a nurse, physician, therapist, technician, food service
worker, volunteer, housekeeper or other caregivers during their stay or
visit. A Heroes with Halos Award is a way to recognize them, along with
an honorarium to
Baxter Regional Hospital Foundation in any amount can be given to honor. The employee receives a certificate
and badge holder from one or more of the Senior Leadership Team. It is
a highly regarded award, and staff members are honored to receive it.
