Read stories from patients and coworkers who shared about Olympic Medical Center nurses: Even an RN needs help during sickness and trauma. Judy’s care, knowledge, and concern for her patients demonstrates a degree of professionalism that I wish I could have achieved in my own career. Katie is the type of nurse that doesn’t just come to work for a paycheck, she comes because she enjoys providing the best possible experience to her patients, as well as interactions with her co-workers. I have never met a more nurturing, understanding, respectful, empathetic and supportive nurse in my entire life than Karen. Watching my brother be that ill, and die, was hard, but I don’t believe anyone could have taken better care of him, or us, than Michael. I carry a special place in my heart for him.

The DAISY Foundation was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes after he died from complications of the auto-immune disease, ITP, in 1999. During his hospitalization, the Barnes Family deeply appreciated the care and compassion shown to Patrick and their entire family. When he died, the family felt compelled to say “thank you” to nurses in a very public way and the DAISY Foundation was created. DAISY stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune SYstem. 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. More information can be found at DAISY Foundation. Said Bonnie Barnes, FAAN, President and Co-Founder of The DAISY Foundation, “When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses provide patients every day and night. Yet these unsung heroes are seldom recognized for the super-human, extraordinary, compassionate work they do. The kind of work the nurses at Olympic Medical Center are called on to do every day epitomizes the purpose of The DAISY Award.” 939 Caroline Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 (360) 417-7000 Useful Links Find a Provider Careers Volunteer Program OMC Foundation Notice of CaptureRx Incident Legal Notices Non-Discrimination Statement Provider Resources Staff Illness Reporting Tool Copyright © 2021 | Olympic Medical Center | All rights reserved Website by Jennergy, Inc.
