What are The DAISY & BEE Awards?
The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that rewards excellence in nursing. It was created by The DAISY Foundation to recognize the clinical skills, extraordinary compassion and care exhibited by nurses every day. The award is given to outstanding registered nurses in more than 200 hospitals across the United States.
The BEE Award is a program that was adopted by Overlake in 2023 to honor the compassionate care provided by extraordinary nursing support staff. The BEE Award works in collaboration with the DAISY Award that recognizes nursing staff, just as a daisy cannot survive without a bee, a nurse thrives when they are supported by their team. BEE Award honorees demonstrate Overlake’s values which are Integrity, Compassion, Agility, Respect, and Engagement.
