HaysMed Recognizes Nursing Staff
(Hays, KS – May 9, 2016) – HaysMed recognized several nursing Associates on National Nursing Day on Friday, May 6.
Glenda Schuetz, Patient Care Technician (PCT) was recognized with the Caring Hands PCT of the year award. The PCT is a very important part of the patient care team as they extend the care of the nurse through positive interaction with patients and visitors by anticipating needs.
Chad Burgardt, Customer Care Representative (CCR) was named the Debra Boeken CCR of the Year. A CCR serves as the face of the unit and often sets the tone for how our patients’ family members and other visitors see the hospital and the care provided.
The Lanita Smith LPN of the Year award was given to Tiffany DeWitt. The LPN of the Year award is named after Smith, a former nurse that took pride in her role as an LPN and her ability to positively impact a patient’s life as a nurse in many different roles at HaysMed. This award honors an LPN who displays many of the same characteristics that Smith had including kindness, compassion, concern and friendliness all the while being a great member of the patient care team.
Schuetz works at Southwind Surgical and has been with HaysMed since 2008. Burgardt is a floating CCR and has been an Associate of HaysMed since 2012. Dewitt works in the Convenient Care Clinic and has been an Associate of HaysMed for 6 years.
