The DAISY Lifetime Achievement Award was created to recognize those nurses who have devoted their life's work to the compassionate care of others. Recipients of this award are nominated for their dedication to nursing through active mentoring, role modeling, advocating for their patients, and promoting the positive image of nursing. They serve as a beacon of inspiration to those at all stages of their career and in the various and important roles of nursing.

The DAISY Lifetime Achievement Award gives us a way to express our gratitude and recognize the legacies that have sustained and shaped the heritage of nursing.
Debbie, this recognition comes from devoting your life’s work to the service and care of others. Thank you for the compassion and skill with which you have treated all of your patients, their families, and your colleagues.
