Southeast Georgia Health System Presents BEE Award to Faith Smith
Tuesday, April 18th, 2023
Southeast Georgia Health System recently presented the BEE Award to Faith Smith in recognition of the compassionate care she provides to patients. The BEE Award honors and recognizes team members outside of nursing who go Beyond Exceptional Expectations (BEE).
Smith is a medical support assistant at Southeast Georgia Physician Associates-Neurology. She was nominated for the BEE Award by Lori Trefts, MD, board-certified neurologist.
The nomination excerpt includes, “Three separate patients in one week have raved about the care provided by Faith Smith. They reported that she always returns their calls promptly, she follows up and checks on them, and she helps them with their medications and appointments. She does this with a smile! Faith is polite and kind to our patients on the phone and always follows up on her tasks. She deserves the BEE Award!”
Smith was presented with a BEE Award plaque and certificate in front of her peers and Health System leadership. She also received a BEE pin, balloons, and honey danishes to share with her team.
Those eligible for the BEE Award include all Health System team members and volunteers except nurses (RNs and LPNs may receive the DAISY Award). These team members provide extraordinary experiences for Health System patients, their families, and visitors by exemplifying quality service and care.
Anyone may nominate a deserving team member for a BEE Award online at sghs.org/bee-award, or nominations may be placed in BEE boxes located throughout the Health System’s Brunswick and Camden campuses. A committee of Health System team members review the nominations and determine the BEE Award recipient(s).
