BARNESVILLE, OHIO – Misty Moore, RN of Barnesville Hospital was recently honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.

Other nominees at Barnesville Hospital include Micaela Drewett, RN. Nurses may be nominated by patients, families, and colleagues. The award recipient is chosen by a committee at Barnesville Hospital through a blind selection process sanctioned by the DAISY Foundation.

The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes by members of his family. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from  complications of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a little known but not uncommon  auto-immune disease. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired  this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.

Nurses may be nominated by patients, families, and colleagues. The award recipient is chosen by a committee at Barnesville Hospital through a blind selection process sanctioned by the DAISY Foundation.
