Cambridge Upham-Tubbs, Patient Care Tech, ER, is the newest recipient of our
BEE Award -For going Beyond Exceptional Expectations. The BEE Award is a Liberty-specific recognition created to honor our technician employees who play an essential role in our departments and teams.

"Cambridge was the reassuring voice that a patient needed in a difficult moment. She was able to calm the patient down enough for the nurses to provide care. This was just one of hundreds of moments I've witnessed proving that Cambridge is not only competent and reliable, but she also establishes meaningful and trustworthy relationships with the patients that she helps."

Congratulations, Cambridge! We’re so thankful for all that you do at Liberty Hospital. Your hard work and passion for delivering outstanding care make a meaningful difference for our patients.

Congratulations to the Special Procedures and Vascular Access team for receiving the annual Daisy TEAM award. The DAISY Award honors outstanding nurses who provide exceptional care and compassion to their patients.

"The team has played an integral role in the care of my patients. I can't count the number of times I have called, requesting to schedule a 'STAT' blood transfusion for a patient, and, despite having a full schedule, always being told, 'Don't worry, we will work them in.' Not only do they prioritize the needs of my patients, but they go above and beyond to work with the patients' schedules and preferences. I could not do my job without their support and am so grateful for their generosity and compassion."

Thank you for all that you do at Liberty Hospital! Go to libertyhospital.org to learn more about how you can nominate an exceptional nurse for the DAISY Award.
