Lee receives a BEE Award nomination

A colleague nominated Lee for the BEE Award for being a “fantastic tech and a delightful human being.”

The colleague wrote, “I have practiced nursing for over a decade, and everywhere I have worked, there are always people who stand out at their job. Lee is one of those employees. He is exemplary. He anticipates the needs of the nursing staff. He regularly checks in on his patients and ensures they are cared for, cleaned, and have what they need. Granted, this is a part of the job description, but any discrepancy from ideal patient happiness he addresses without spectacle, and most promptly. He is a consummate professional, and the facility is lucky to have an employee of his caliber. He is detail oriented and delightful to work with. I wish we had more employees of this quality.”

Lee, your patients are fortunate to have such a skilled and caring nurse. Congratulations on your nomination! ...

Becca receives a DAISY Award

Becca was awarded the DAISY Award after demonstrating top-notch clinical care and leadership skills during a patient’s emergency room visit.

The patient wrote, “I arrived at the emergency room with my heart pounding. Becca immediately recognized the signs of heart failure and quickly took me to a room. She was back in about 10 seconds, and within 20 seconds there were 12 people in the room with her. She knew her job well and did not have to think — she just did. I was impressed with her demeanor and efficiency and how well she treated and spoke to her coworkers. Becca would be my first choice in selecting someone to lead the world. The whole team should be commended, but it takes someone to lead and coordinate the team to have that kind of result. Please pass along my appreciation for an outstanding nurse. I am alive today because of her skills.”

Congratulations, Becca! The Aya team appreciates everything you do. You deserve that nomination!

Emily receives a DAISY Award nomination

A patient’s mother nominated Emily for a DAISY Award for her touching warmth and heartfelt care.

The mother wrote, “We have been in the hospital for about three weeks and most of that time we have been in the ICU. Being here hasn’t been easy, but as soon as we met Emily, I have felt nothing but comfort from the way she has lovingly cared for my son and made sure he is alright. When moments arise when he isn’t alright, Emily is upfront with him, but also puts him at ease by telling him he is in great hands — which is 100% true. Emily is going to be our nurse for a second week, and I couldn’t be happier. As a mother, I want to feel safe about the people around my child, and I can tell you I feel 10,000% having her around my son. I’m so blessed to have met her, and she will forever carry a special place in our hearts!  We have had many great nurses during our stay, but Emily is just a special one for us!”

We are so proud to have you on our team, Emily! Congrats!

We still talk about how great it was to have so much support at a time when we needed it at the most.”
