The program also includes the opportunity for individuals and their families to honor or recognize a caregiver/care team.

If you are grateful for the care and compassion you or a loved one have received from ProMedica, consider giving a donation in honor of a special caregiver in your life and they will be recognized with a champion of philanthropy pin. Please visit promedica.org/giving/grateful-patient to pledge your gift!

How can I recognize a hospital caregiver?


We’re so pleased to hear about your wonderful experience. Our caregivers are the backbone of our hospital, and we want to make sure they receive recognition!

The DAISY Award is presented to a deserving nurse to celebrate the extraordinary compassion they provide patients and families every day. Through this award, the hope is that each nurse who receives the award truly recognizes the positive impact they have on the patients in their care. We encourage you to nominate a nurse who went above and beyond for you during your stay.

The ROSE Award was established in 2020 by the Toledo-area ProMedica hospitals to recognize outstanding employees in all roles in the hospital. This award celebrates the extraordinary efforts of non-nursing employees who provide outstanding patient services in any position. We encourage you to nominate someone who you feel exceeded expectations to make your stay pleasant.

Anybody can nominate a nurse or ProMedica employee for a ROSE or DAISY Award! At the end of each quarter, the hospital will announce one winner of the ROSE Award and one winner of the DAISY Award.
