Congratulations to Etetu, an environmental services (EVS) technician, as the recipient of a BEE Award! BEE is an acronym for “Being Excellent Every Day.” BEEs celebrate non-nursing team members supporting patient care. BEEs honor team members for the skilled and dedicated support they provide contributing to extraordinary patient care.
Etetu, affectionately known as “Tutu," works in the department that keeps our hospital clean, sanitized and safe for patients, visitors and team members. Etetu has received the ultimate compliment for her work. Numerous times patients have sent letters and comments praising her. Etetu has a tremendous amount of pride, high standards and deep responsibility for what she does. The areas she cleans are spotless---nothing, and we mean absolutely nothing, is overlooked! Her attention to detail makes a lasting impression on patients, their families and St. Joseph’s Hospital-North team members.
She interacts and acknowledges patients and their families with kindness, respect and empathy. Her warm and resassuring presence positively impacts the patient and family experience at our hospital.
Her demeanor and disposition is the same with her colleagues. In Etetu’s BEE nomination documents, a colleague wrote that Etetu eagerly and enthusiastically greets teammates at the beginning of each day and brings a “calming vibe” to the shift.
Congratulations Etetu on the BEE and thank you for your dedication, excellence and role in keeping our hospital in immaculate condition and making such a positive impression with everyone you know and meet!
