The Daisy Award

In memory of Patrick Barnes, his family established a recognition program: The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses. Through this and other recognition programs, we honor the super-human work nurses do for patients and families every day. Here, within our organization, we have honored nurses from Critical Care, Surgery, Progressive Care, Med-Surgery and our very first winner from the ER, just to name a few.
CSV Salute

Associates can be nominated by anyone within the organization for performing and demonstrating behaviors that go above and beyond everyday duties to demonstrate that their work performance is in alignment with CHRISTUS St. Vincent’s Core Values. Awardees are selected by the CHRISTUS St. Vincent’s Got Talent Team every month.
The Purple Heart Luncheon

This luncheon takes place every month and provides an opportunity for every new employee hired in the Nursing Division to sit down and have lunch with and get to know our Chief Nursing Executive, Monica Leyba. After you have been here for at least 45 days you will receive an invite to attend the luncheon. This allows you opportunity to take in and speak about your experiences during your first 45 days with CHRISTUS St. Vincent.
