Congratulations to Sally, a patient care technician (PCT) on the cardiovascular telemetry floor, for receiving the prestigious BEE “Being Excellent Everyday” Award.

A patient’s family nominated Sally for her outstanding care and compassion during their loved one’s stay. They wrote, “What makes this team member so remarkable is her rare ability to connect with individuals who are struggling the most. She meets people where they are, guiding them toward comfort, dignity, and improvement through encouragement and respect. She leads without demanding, supports without judgment, and expects the best effort possible while honoring individual limits.”

Sally was skilled in her care for the patient but also supported and cared for the family. She always checked-in on the family to make sure they were emotionally okay.

“The human connection mattered more than words can express,” the family wrote.

They credit Sally with ensuring their loved one returned home in a stronger and more stable condition than when he arrived.

Thank you, Sally, for your dedication to your profession and truly caring for our patients. We are proud to have you on our team!

During National Robotics Week, we want to spotlight all the robotic technology that BayCare uses to help bring quality, compassionate care to our community!

BayCare is a leader in minimally invasive surgery, with more than 75 robotic surgical systems in our 16 hospitals that assist on procedures across urology, gynecology, thoracic, colorectal, bariatrics, orthopedic, neurological and pulmonary specialties – plus general surgery. Some of these systems enhance surgical precision by using advanced navigation to create real-time 3D maps, supporting greater accuracy and safer, more personalized care. In addition to surgical robots, there are assistive robots across BayCare that help with pharmacy and lab deliveries as well as aiding in our supply chain process.

At Morton Plant North Bay Hospital we have three robotic-assisted surgical systems that are guided by our surgeons who are specially-trained and experienced in robotic surgery. We are proud to offer innovative, advanced care with the use of minimally invasive and precise technology for the benefit of our patients. Happy National Robotics Week!
