8 Ensign Aaron Furr, a Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) registered nurse assigned to the Multiservice Ward (4H), was surprised with NMCP’s DAISY Award during a ceremony Dec. 22. Capt. Lisa Mulligan, NMCP’s commanding officer presented the award.
The DAISY Award was established by The DAISY Foundation in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick (Pat) Barnes, a patient who lost his life to the auto-immune disease ITP. Barnes’ family wanted to recognize the incredible care that the nurses provided him before his death and created the award now embraced by healthcare organizations around the world.
During Pat’s illness, his family was impressed by the clinical care, compassion and kindness his nurses brought to the bedside day in and day out. Following Pat’s death, his family created the DAISY (an acronym for disease attacking the immune system) Foundation to say thank you to the nurses for the extraordinary care they provide patients and families every day.
