Person-centered care is the core of a high-quality healthcare system and a necessary foundation for safe, effective, efficient, timely, and equitable care. That’s why Stamford Hospital has a Planetree Gold Certification for Excellence in Person-Centered Care!

Each DAISY Award Honoree will be recognized at a public ceremony in her/his unit and will receive: a beautiful certificate, a DAISY Award pin, and a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled A Healer’s Touch. Additionally, everyone in the unit will celebrate with cinnamon rolls — a favorite of Patrick’s during his illness. The Barnes Family asks that whenever and wherever nurses smell that wonderful cinnamon aroma, they stop for a moment and think about how special they are.
