Congratulations to Kim Jeffries, DCH's latest BEE Award recipient

We're excited about our latest BEE Award winner, as she truly encapsulates the spirit of a DCH caregiver. Kim Jeffries is a Patient Care Assistant in our Cardiac ICU, and the nomination below was written from the wife of a patient:

My husband was crashing a couple of times and she brought us into a special room and showered us with love and kindness. She spoke with us about the power of the Lord and what he could for us. It was heart felt and well appreciated. We told her there is a lesson in the blessing and she was indeed a blessing when we needed one.

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.
