Beebe Healthcare Recognizes Darryl Harris with the October L.O.V.E. Letter Award
Beebe Healthcare is proud to recognize Darryl Harris, phlebotomist/registrar with Beebe Lab Express at the Rehoboth Beach Health Campus, as the October Living Our Values Every Day (L.O.V.E.) Letter Award recipient.
Last year, a task force of Beebe Healthcare team members met over multiple months to examine exceptional patient experiences and create a system of values, which every team member pledges to follow.
Beebe Healthcare team members have pledged to live these values every day. As a patient or visitor at Beebe, you may see these value statements posted. We invite you to help us be mindful of our values as we care for you and your family members.
Harris was nominated by Sharon Davis, RN, a clinical nurse in the Outpatient Recovery Unit at the Medical Center in Lewes.
Davis said she regularly meets patients who mention how wonderful Harris is at the Route 24 campus. “They speak not only of his superior skill, but also of his kindness and ability to make them feel important and well cared for,” Davis said.
Harris showcased the Beebe values of doing it right the first time, treating each individual with respect and dignity, building trusting relationships with compassion and kindness, and acting with a passion and love for others to make a difference. Harris has dedicated himself to being an expert in his field and it shows! Thank you Darryl for all you do!
Jeffrey M. Fried, President and CEO of Beebe Healthcare and Rick Schaffner, Executive Vice President and COO of Beebe Healthcare, were on hand to make the presentation and congratulate Darryl.
Beebe Healthcare’s L.O.V.E. Letter Recognition Program was established in 2015 and gives team members the opportunity to be recognized by their peers and supervisors for outstanding service. The program is similar to an employee of the month program. Team members are encouraged to send L.O.V.E. notes to other team members during the course of the month. A committee then evaluates the L.O.V.E. notes and selects one to receive the monthly L.O.V.E. Letter. Winners are announced in a surprise ceremony in which the committee visits the winner in his or her department and presents the award. Employees selected for the award receive:
- Parking space in the parking garage for one month
- $100 gift card donated by Fred and Lyndie Hertrich
- 100 points toward Beebe L.O.V.E. Notes Merchandise
- Letter of congratulations and personal visit from members of the executive team
- Their photo added to the L.O.V.E. Letter wall plaque
- Letter to team member’s director and department recognition
