Awards and Recognition

The DAISY Award

For nurses who provide skillful, compassionate care.
We are proud to recognize our nurses with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national program that honors the compassionate care and clinical excellence our nurses bring to their patients every day. Throughout the year, you may nominate nurses, nursing educators and nursing leaders for The DAISY Award. Please fill out the form below to nominate a nurse for the DAISY award.

The Lifesaver Award

For those who go above and beyond in critical moments.
Just as a lifesaver provides support when it’s needed most, the Lifesaver Award honors team members who have stepped up during high-pressure situations to make a meaningful difference. At Lakeland, this award recognizes individuals—both clinical and non-clinical—who demonstrate quick thinking, compassion, and calm under pressure. Whether assisting during a crisis, preventing a safety issue, or delivering outstanding support in urgent situations, Lifesaver nominees reflect Lakeland’s commitment to excellence in care.
