The DAISY Team Award is an annual award presented at the beginning of each calendar year to an extraordinary nurse-led team of individuals. It recognizes that better patient and family outcomes may start with one individual, but it often takes an entire team.

DAISY Team Nomination Criteria:

• Team must be led by a direct-care nurse or group of nurses
• Team must be comprised of two or more individuals
• Team members are role models of collaboration and teamwork that make a difference in the lives of our patients, families, team members, and our community
• Team members create a culture of trust, respect, and engagement through UVA Health values of accountability, stewardship, professionalism, integrity, respect, and excellence

• A "prom" organized for a patient who is unable to go to her/his own
