The DAISY Award

Honoring Extraordinary Nurses at Mount Graham Regional Medical Center

At Mount Graham Regional Medical Center, our nurses deliver compassionate, skillful, and extraordinary care every day. To celebrate the difference they make in the lives of our patients and families, MGRMC proudly participates in the internationally respected DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses program.

The DAISY Award recognizes nurses who go above and beyond—those who show exceptional kindness, clinical excellence, meaningful patient connection, and a commitment to healing. Whether through a single powerful moment or consistent daily care, these nurses leave a lasting impact on the people they serve.

What Is the DAISY Award?

Created in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, the DAISY Award honors nurses who exemplify:

  • Exceptional compassion

  • Extraordinary clinical skill

  • Meaningful patient and family support

  • Dedication to going above and beyond

Thousands of healthcare organizations participate worldwide, and we are proud to bring this important recognition to our nursing team here at MGRMC.
