We Must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up
to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
- Marian Wright Edelman

DAISY Award GiftsRecognizing that it takes a team to provide great patient care, the staff on the DAISY Award Nurse’s unit receives Cinnabon® cinnamon rolls
DAISY’s Message To NursesWhenever you smell that wonderful Cinnabon smell – in the mall or airport or baking with cinnamon at home - stop for a minute and think about how special you are because you’re a nurse. You may take for granted the incredible things you do every day, but your patients and their families certainly don’t. Think about the impact you have on so many people’s lives - not only your patients but everyone in your patients’ lives.
Thank You!
We look forward to working with you to honor your Extraordinary Nurses
