We are excited to share with you the news about Health Carousel's 100th DAISY Award celebration. The event took place on February 21, 2023, in Cebu, Philippines, and marked a significant milestone for the company's dedication to recognizing and celebrating the extraordinary work of nurses globally.

The recipient of the 100th DAISY Award was Angyl Faythe, a nursing student in the Philippines who truly embodies the spirit of nursing. She saved the life of a woman who had suffered a critical knife wound to her neck while she was out on the streets of Cebu. Despite not knowing if the attacker was nearby and ready to strike again, Angyl performed her life-saving duty as she was trained to do.

In her own words, "When I saw the woman was about to collapse, I told myself, if no one will help, then who will? That was why I immediately responded." Even after the incident, Angyl and her classmates continued to monitor the woman's condition, reaching out to her family to make sure someone was looking after her at the hospital and learning about her recovery progress.

For her extraordinary heroism, skill, and compassionate care, Health Carousel Philippines awarded Angyl The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Students. The award was presented in front of 749 nursing students, nursing faculty, parents, and guests attending her nurse capping ceremony.

The DAISY Awards provide meaningful recognition to direct care nurses, nursing school faculty, and nursing students for demonstrating above-and-beyond commitment to care and compassion for patients and their families. Between the Health Carousel Corporate program and the International Advocate Program, 100 DAISY Awards have been given out.

In 2018, Health Carousel began its relationship with the DAISY Foundation™ and started collecting patient nominations for the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. A corporate committee meets quarterly to review the nominations and selects one nurse from Health Carousel Philippines and each U.S. corporate division who exemplifies the DAISY Award's focus on compassionate care. Health Carousel coordinates with the recipients' assigned healthcare facilities to hold surprise award ceremonies.

In addition to the DAISY Awards given out by Health Carousel, the company has also become DAISY's first International Advocate, underwriting the awards program in Uganda, Ghana, and Cameroon. Health Carousel most recently underwrote the first-ever DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Faculty and Nursing Students awards on the continent of Africa at EXIST University School of Nursing in Cameroon.

We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone with the DAISY Foundation and recognize the hard work and dedication of nurses like Angyl. Congratulations, Angyl, and all of the DAISY Award recipients!
