Betty Kay Pharr receives BEE Award

Betty Kay Pharr, PCT, has received CRMC's BEE Award for the fourth quarter of 2021.

When it comes to quality patient care, it truly takes a team. Coffee Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is proud to honor staff members who have been recognized by our patients, patient family members, or co-workers for their outstanding work to assist in our patients' and visitors' care. The BEE Award recognizes the extraordinary work of non-nursing staff members at CRMC. This award complements the DAISY Award, which recognizes outstanding service and care by our nursing staff.

Betty Kay is an essential part of the team in Coffee Regional Medical Center’s Heart & Vascular Center. Betty Kay had two nominations for The BEE Award in 2021. A cardiac patient shared, “As chaotic as the day was, she showed compassion and was outstanding.” A co-worker shared, “She always comes to work with a willing heart ready to prepare our area for patient care.”

This story is just one example of what it means to go above and BEE-yond. All non-nurse members of the Coffee Regional Medical Center staff qualify for The BEE Award. Nominations are gathered each month and awarded every quarter after the BEE Award committee members choose the award recipient. Each honoree receives a certificate that reads: "This award is proudly presented in recognition of going BEE-yond in showing our patients and visitors an Exceptional Experience here at Coffee Regional Medical Center." Additionally, honorees receive a unique BEE Award pin for their badge, a $50 gift certificate, and a reception with their colleagues featuring freshly made "honey bee" buns as a sweet treat.
