Outstanding Achievements
Henry Ford Hospital (HFH) recognizes nurses throughout the year who go above and beyond their typical nurse duties to impact the lives of others.
The DAISY Award is presented to one nurse each month who touched someone’s life with empathy and compassion. The Honey Bee Award is given every other month to honor nursing support staff who have provided extraordinary care.
Additionally, several Henry Ford nurses receive other awards and participate in presentations at various local and state conferences. Many nurses continue their professional development by attaining professional certifications in a variety of specialties.
