Stacey Harris, a patient care technician at Memorial Satilla, was recently honored with the hospital’s Sunflower Award for extraordinary team members. Harris lives in Blackshear. She has been a team member at Memorial Satilla for five years.
Presented quarterly, the award is part of Memorial Satilla’s efforts to recognize non-nurse team members who deliver compassionate care and a remarkable patient experience every day. The hospital’s DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses is also awarded on a quarterly basis.
'There are people who come to work and do their job and then there are people like Stacey Harris, who embody the true spirit of compassionate care in every single interaction,” said one coworker. “Stacey is the heartbeat of 3-Main. Her presence brings comfort, strength and a quiet kind of leadership that speaks volumes.'
When another fellow worker was asked about Harris, they said,'She can tell when a patient is in pain even before they speak, or when a family member just needs a kind word. Her clinical skill is matched only by her emotional intelligence, and that combination is rare and invaluable.'
