Health Carousel’s commitment to the recognition of nurse excellence is exemplified in the PassportUSA Light the Way initiative. Partnering with the DAISY Foundation, PassportUSA recently founded the DAISY International Advocate program of nurse recognition.
This first-of-its-kind program sponsors DAISY Awards across the globe for compassionate nurses and inspiring faculty in developing countries where meaningful recognition has been a challenge to achieve. The Light the Way initiative represents Health Carousel’s steadfast commitment to ethical, sustainable recruitment and investment in healthcare talent within the US and across the globe.
