Maggie Althide, social worker, Hospice, earned Blessing Hospital’s 61st Honey Bee award during a surprise presentation on October 24, 2023. The Blessing Hospital Honey Bee award recognizes the exceptional service provided by support staff.
Maggie was nominated by the family of a patient to whom she provided care: “I know a social worker’s job is different than a nurse. Maggie has been an outstanding support system to us throughout Evelyn’s entire illness.
Her kind heart and gentleness made us feel so at ease. She was so easy to talk to and share our family life with her. After we found out she was good friends with a hometown girl we felt even closer to her. We feel so blessed to work with Maggie these last 15 months, and you should feel blessed to have her on your team.”
Honey Bee award nomination forms are located on all nursing units and other locations throughout Blessing Hospital.
