Sandy Juedes, an SSM Health Ripon Community Hospital Information Desk volunteer, has been named the newest recipient of the BEE (Be Exceptional Everyday) Award.
Juedes was nominated by a colleague who wrote: “Every time Sandy is helping at the information desk, she is always busy. Sandy is quick to help patients, assist staff, and always does so with a positive attitude. I rarely see Sandy behind the information desk as she is often too busy offering others a hand. “While Sandy always does a phenomenal job, I’d like to nominate her for a particular situation. That morning, a patient came in for an appointment. Sandy was able to help this patient during a difficult situation. She went above and beyond to provide the best possible outcome for everyone involved. Sandy truly embodies SSM Health’s values of community, compassion, and respect.” 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.
