Altru Achievement Awards are peer-nominated and given to employees and
providers who exemplify the values of Altru Health System, commit to serving
others, and go above and beyond their everyday responsibilities.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is part of the DAISY Foundation's
mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate nursing care nurses
provide patients and families every day. The not-for-profit
DAISY Foundation was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick
died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic
Purpura (ITP). 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.
Altru started recognizes a Provider of the Quarter in 2021 as a way to
recognize outstanding care given by Altru providers. The recipient is
selected after reviewing survey results submitted by patients in a given quarter.
