NOVA congratulates Janette Gabriel on being awarded the DAISY Award at the DCVA.   The DAISY Award isa program that recognizes nurses for their extraordinary compassion, skill, and dedication, established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. The award was created by his family after he died in 1999 to express gratitude for the compassionate care he received from his nurses. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. 

The goal of the DAISY Award is to celebrate and reward the clinical skills and compassionate care of registered nurses by recognizing their positive impact on patients' lives.  The award honors nurses who go above and beyond for their patients and families, and it is presented at healthcare facilities worldwide. Honorees receive a certificate and a special pin.
