We’re proud to celebrate a very special mother-daughter duo at Watertown Regional Medical Center.

Traci Saeger, our latest Bee Award recipient, was recognized for going above and beyond to help a discharged patient by carefully packaging and shipping their belongings on Christmas Eve — even providing tracking information to ease concerns during the holidays.

Her daughter, Jordan Saeger, RN, is our latest DAISY Award recipient. She was honored for the compassion and dignity she brings to every patient interaction — from attentive post-surgical care to providing comfort and peace during a patient’s final moments.

Compassion clearly runs in the Saeger family.

We’re wishing a very happy birthday to the 46 team members celebrating this month. Thank you for the dedication and compassion you bring to our patients and to each other every day.

And if Valentine’s Day didn’t bring quite enough sweets, our Harvest Market chefs made sure these chocolate Oreo cupcakes did the trick.
