symplr, AONL, and The DAISY Foundation launch education grant to recognize visionary nurse leaders in healthcare and technology transformation
symplr recognizes the invaluable role nurses play in healthcare. Their impact across the care continuum is immeasurable, and at symplr, we’re inspired daily by their extraordinary commitment and compassion. For this reason, we remain dedicated to developing technology and solutions that empower nurses to do what they do best: care for patients and families. Their dedication fuels our mission.
Bonnie Barnes, co-founder of The DAISY Foundation, shares the story of her son Patrick’s final days, and highlights the profound impact nurses have—not just through clinical excellence but through compassion, presence, and human connection. She shares the origin of the DAISY Award, created to recognize the extraordinary care shown by nurses.
With over 3.2 million DAISY stories across 7,300+ institutions globally, the foundation stands as a testament to how gratitude, storytelling, and operational support can together elevate the patient experience.
Every fall, the annual DAISY Foundation breakfast is a much-anticipated event held during the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) National Magnet Conference.
