Luke Schaefer, an SSM Health Ripon Community clinical partner II, has been named the newest recipient of the BEE (Be Exceptional Everyday) Award. Schaefer was nominated by a colleague. The nomination read, “Over the past couple months whenever a leader rounded on the inpatient unit, the patients regularly recognize Luke for his friendly and compassionate care. They always mention how attentive he is and how he makes them feel that they are in good hands. One family was so grateful for the care he took to always make sure their father had his hearing aids in before he would start to talk to their dad. They felt that Luke always made sure their dad had everything he needed, and this made it less stressful for them to know he was in good hands with Luke caring for him!” The BEE Award is specifically designed to recognize non-nursing staff members who demonstrate great teamwork and communication skills, collaboration, professionalism, exemplary service, and a commitment to excellence.
