DAISY, SUNFLOWER. LILY and BEE Awards

Want to say Thank You to a staff member?

The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors extraordinary nurses (RN/LPN) who provide compassionate and skillful care every day.

The SUNFLOWER Award is a program that recognizes patient-facing caregivers (except RNs/LPNs, HUCs or PSRs) who demonstrate compassion and respect in their clinical skills, caring for patients and families at our hospital or one of our ambulatory facilities.

The LILY Award is a program that recognizes an extraordinary Health Unit Coordinator or Patient Service Representative who exceeds in technical skill, supports and coordinates efficient teamwork and portrays a welcoming and respectful regard for patients, families and visitors.

The BEE Award is an East Tennessee Children’s Hospital unique honor that recognizes any non-clinical staff member (ineligible for Daisy, Sunflower or Lily Awards) that goes beyond excellence at ETCH in their role to support patients, families and/or other co-workers.

Nominate a Deserving Staff Member

Nominations are reviewed by a committee who selects one nurse each month to receive this award. We celebrate the nurse with a brief presentation of the award by Ron Phillips, CNO in front of his/her peers that includes reading the nomination, presentation of a certificate, a daisy pin and “The Healer’s Touch” sculpture hand carved by a member of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe.
