April Nowell, patient care technician, was recently honored with the Sunflower Award for extraordinary team members. The award is part of Memorial Satilla Health’s efforts to recognize non-nurse team members who enhance the patient experienced with their compassionate care. Like the DAISY Award for nurses the honor is presented quarterly. “When I first arrived at the hospital, I was scared and confused, but April came in and instantly made a great impression,” said a former patient. “She had this calming presence and was always smiling. She is very caring, always shows compassion.” Nowell, who lives in Blackshear, has been a team member at MSH for six years. To learn more or to nominate a staff member, visit http://gsmed.co/3DwYz52.
