In Lake City, Florida, EVS team member Nita Butler received the “Bee” award from her facility. The award is given to non-clinical team members as a companion to the nurse’s “Daisy” award. As described by hospital leadership, “a daisy cannot flourish without the hard work from a bee.”
Nita was nominated by a group of her peers, including nurses, members of the respiratory therapy department, and the director and clinical manager in her halls. Nita received the award for her consistently positive attitude and for her excellent patient care.
EVS Director Eric Searles says of Nita, “She is extremely personable and her patient care is unrivaled. She truly cares and wants each patient to get better and go home. Even when she is having a difficult day personally, she does not bring that into her patients’ rooms. Nita is able to make even the most trying days pass with just a few of her words of caring wisdom and her unmistakable laugh.”
