Two UT Health Athens nurses received DAISY Awards for their extraordinary on-the-job care.
Stephanie Beddingfield, RN, “exhibited total patient focus, integrity, leadership, stewardship, teamwork,” according to her nomination form, written by the patient’s wife, who noted that when he was discharged, Beddingfield even pulled their truck into the loading area in the pouring rain.
“She was so kind, sweet and caring — we’ve had many experiences the last two years and your staff has been the most caring and knowledgeable! Thank you so much, Stephanie was great!”
Robert Orr, RN, was nominated by a patient because of his total patient focus, integrity and teamwork. “Robert was wonderful,” the patient wrote in her nomination form. “No matter what I asked, he always delivers with a smile and winning attitude. He is one of the reasons I love this hospital.”
