Coralyn Hoover, Surgery Support Tech, One Day Surgery, became the eighth Blessing Hospital support staff member to receive the Honey Bee Award during a surprise presentation on Tuesday, December 11.
She received the following nomination:
“From where I work, I get the pleasure of seeing Coralyn work. She always has a smile on her face and a great attitude to go with it. The patients that she assists day in and day out can feel it too! She is always conversing and sharing a laugh as she wheels them out to their vehicle. I recently went from being her colleague to being a patient and got to experience firsthand why everyone loves her. She came by to check on me and to my surprise remembered the day of my surgery. She is deserving of this award.”
Honey Bee honorees personify Blessing Hospital’s remarkable patient experience. The Honey Bee Award complements the DAISY Award. While the DAISY Award is for RNs, the Honey Bee Award is for support staff because, “you can’t have daisies without outstanding honey bees.”
Each Honey Bee Award honoree is recognized during a presentation. They receive a certificate, a tray of sticky buns, cookies and a jar of local honey. The local honey signifies the role support staff plays in extraordinary patient care and customer service; they are the “sticky” honey that binds us together.
Honey Bee award nomination forms are located on all nursing units and online here.
