Beebe Medical Center Recognizes Operator through “You Make a Difference” Award

09/27/04

Beebe Medical Center is pleased to announce and congratulate its September “You Make A Difference” award recipient: Mary Lou Menozzi, operator in the Communications Department.

Fellow employees nominated Ms. Menozzi for her efforts to enhance our team spirit and morale by creating a themed tree by the hospital entrance for every holiday. Ms. Menozzi decorates the tree on her own time and at her own expense for patients and families to enjoy. One nomination describes her as “always enthusiastic, very willing to help, and a tremendous asset to Beebe. She greets everyone through the door with a smile and exemplifies true spirit.”

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
