""Tara Simpson, MHRM, Education Specialist, has been honored with the You Make a Difference Award for June.

Mrs. Simpson is known at Beebe Medical Center as someone who goes above and beyond each and every day. Her warm smile and energetic personality lets team members know that she is ready to help and to get the job done. She is always prepared, whether she is assisting a team member or teaching a class. She is creative and knowledgeable about the classes she teaches, and is an expert at motivating others to get involved. Those who work with her say that she is always ready to assist them whenever she is needed. She genuinely cares about others and is sincere about wanting everyone to succeed through educational opportunities.

Her contribution to Beebe Medical Center's Education Department, and to her fellow team members' advancements in academia, has been immeasurable. She has assisted with the Extern and Internship programs at Beebe Medical Center, teaching classes and being a mentor when needed. As a result, she has helped in staff retention and recruitment. She also assisted in recent clinical competency audits and did an outstanding job. She also started the now popular book club.

We thank you, Tara, for your willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. You truly Made a Difference.

Beebe Medical Center's You Make a Difference employee recognition program, which was established in 2002, gives employees the opportunity to recognize their colleagues for outstanding service. The program is similar to an employee of the month program, but 18 employees can be selected annually. Each nomination, which may be submitted by fellow employees or management, must meet criteria developed by the committee. The You Make a Difference Review Board evaluates eligible nominations each month. Winners are announced in a surprise ceremony in which the committee meets in their department and presents the award. Employees selected for the award receive:

§ Parking space with sign/plaque for a month
§ $100 gift certificate to business of choice within Sussex County
§ Letter of congratulations and personal visit from Jeffrey Fried, Beebe president
§ Photo for wall plaque on hall outside of cafeteria
§ Special pin for badge
§ Letter to team member's director and department recognition
