SGMC Health is proud to recognize Shanicia Turner, PCT II in the Main Emergency Department, as this month’s recipient of the Being Extraordinary Everyday (BEE) Award. The award celebrates non-nursing team members who make a lasting difference through exceptional service, compassion, and dedication to patients, families, and fellow team members.
Turner was nominated by the family member of a patient who was especially grateful for the kindness and patience she showed during their Emergency Room visit. Throughout their time in the ER, Turner remained attentive to the patient’s needs, taking extra steps to make sure they felt comfortable, understood, and cared for.
That care was especially evident when Turner noticed the patient wore hearing aids and adjusted her voice so he could hear her more easily. While simple, the gesture meant a great deal to the family, who shared that Turner’s kindness made it clear she saw their father as a person, not simply another patient.
It was Turner’s attention to these small but meaningful details that left a lasting impression on the family. Her patience, compassion, and genuine care embody the spirit of the BEE Award and reflect the human kindness at the heart of SGMC Health.
SGMC Health offers a variety of recognition programs to honor employees who best represent its tagline of “Remarkable People, Extraordinary Care, Human Kindness.” To learn more about the BEE Award and other recognition programs, visit sgmc.org/recognition.
