Bee Award
The BEE Award is a spinoff of the nursing focused Daisy Award. It honors and recognizes team members outside of nursing who go Beyond Exceptional Expectations (BEE).
These team members provide extraordinary experiences for our patients, their families and visitors by exemplifying quality service and extraordinary care.
Recent BEE Award winners at Watertown Regional Medical Center include:
Dr. Vikram Goyal, Hospitalist
Nomination Year: 2022
Nominated by: Patient
Story: Dr. Goyal knew I wanted to attend a memorial service at a church the following day when I was admitted. He offered to come in early the following morning in order that I could attend the service I was to be a part of as long as I was medically stable. I truly appreciated his kind and genuine offer. I was not stable however but he showed up early and was sensitive to say he was sorry I wasn’t able to be discharged. He is able to understand a patient’s unique situation and adapt accordingly. I have shared my positive stay with many, many people who have asked me to share.
Gail Gerth, Information Systems
Year Nominated: 2022
Nominated by: Co-worker
Story: Gail goes above and beyond when I ask her to fix something. She never gets crabby with me or asks me to do 6 things to the device before she comes and looks at it. This is super helpful because we know all the tips and tricks to fix something and have done them all before we call/write a work order. It’s done in a timely manner and that helps us continue to provide care to our patients and go on with our day. Thanks Gail!
Courtney Cushman, Respiratory Therapist
Nomination Year: 2022
Nominated by: Patient
Story: I was not familiar how to use the two handheld devices necessary for breathing and Courtney was very patient and informative without being critical in any way. Her encouragement went a long way as I continued to use them to improve when I returned home. She also let me try to sleep at the midnight treatment time knowing the value of sleep also being vital which I truly appreciate.
