In this episode of Central Line: Leadership in Healthcare, host Leah Wuitschik speaks with Bonnie Barnes, co-founder of the DAISY Foundation, which was created to honour extraordinary nurses after the compassionate care her stepson Patrick received before his passing. Since 1999, the DAISY Award has grown into a global movement, recognizing over 230,000 nurses in nearly 7,000 healthcare facilities across 43 countries. Bonnie shares how the program has expanded to include nurse leaders, educators, and teams, emphasizing the power of meaningful recognition in boosting morale, combating burnout, and reinforcing the impact of nursing. She also discusses DAISY’s ongoing research, international growth, and how expressing gratitude through nominations provides therapeutic benefits for patients and healthcare professionals alike.
