BEE Award Goes to Yachoya Brooks

Congratulations to Yachoya Brooks, a sterile processing technician for Central Sterile Processing at Northport Medical Center. Brooks is one of our recent BEE Award winners.

She was nominated by a patient’s family member.

“I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much one of your nurses touched our hearts. She went by YaYa, and I think her name is Yachoya Brooks. She went above and beyond to make my [son] feel so special and his nerves better. We actually ran into her after leaving, and she stopped to talk to him then. She was the first one we encountered when we got here today, and he just lit up! She even went the extra effort to come visit him.”

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.
