If a DAISY award is all about nurses, the new Baptist Memphis Iris Award is about other clinical team members in non-nursing roles. The award, “I Show Respect for Others in My Service” highlights and celebrates those colleagues recognized for their particular accomplishments and empathy.
Congratulations to the inaugural winners!
- Kimyarda Sykes is the secretary for Radiation Oncology who helped reassure a patient. She said, “We’ve got this,” creating a sense of calm for the patient. Her continued grace has been described as a “gift that she shares.”
- Michelle Brown is a patient care assistant (PCA) on 3 North. When a team member needed help, Michelle retrieved the needed supplies and quickly returned. Michelle’s attention, kindness, and quick response proved her team spirit.
