Staff recognition (Daisy and Bee Awards)

DAISY Award

Sky Lakes Medical Center is proud to be a DAISY Award Partner, recognizing one of our extraordinary nurses with this special honor each quarter.

The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary compassionate and skillful care given by nurses every day.

How to nominate an extraordinary Sky Lakes nurse

Patients, their families and friends are encouraged to nominate a deserving nurse by completing a Daisy Award form found in waiting areas throughout our facilities and place it in the Daisy Award drop box or mail it postage-paid. Another option is to submit an online nomination form.

DAISY Award honorees personify Sky Lakes Medical Center's commitment to excellence. These nurses consistently demonstrate exceptional skill through their clinical expertise and extraordinary compassionate care. They are recognized as outstanding role models in our nursing community.

BEE Award

The BEE Award recognizes non-nurse care team members for their "extraordinary, compassionate and skillful care to help make a difference in the lives of our patients" and is based on nominations from patients, families and colleagues. The award complements the DAISY Award for nurses.

Just as the daisy cannot survive without the bee, nurses cannot survive without the outstanding teamwork provided by other colleagues.

Patients, visitors, nurses, physicians and employees can nominate a deserving care-team member by completing a BEE Award nomination form (printable PDF) found in waiting areas throughout our facilities and place it in the Daisy Award drop box or mail it postage-paid.
