BEE Award Goes to Shacora Gaines

Shacora was nominated by a patient who called her a breath of fresh air.

“Shacora showed up with a smile and phone charger! That small but needed charger/gesture made my day and my family’s day as well (they could get in touch with me!) I appreciate how she didn’t wait for me to ask for needed items, she just appeared with them. I needed what she offered that day and it went beyond her title. I’m proud of her.”

BEE stands for Being Exceptional Everyday. This award recognizes extraordinary service from our non-nursing staff. Any employee from any department (except RNs) can be nominated for the BEE Award. RNs are recognized for exceptional service with The DAISY Award.

BEE Award nominations will be accepted from patients, patients’ family members, physicians, DCH employees and volunteers. If you’ve experienced or witnessed extraordinary service from a DCH team member, then nominate that person for the BEE Award.

Clear display boxes, which include printed nomination forms, are located throughout DCH hospitals for both the BEE Award and The DAISY Award. Click here to use the electronic forms
