Patient Choice Award deadline is April 29
Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital is seeking to honor one of its nurses with the Patient Choice Award, which recognizes the quality care, comfort and compassion demonstrated in his or her daily work. SSMH is asking for input from the community, and one nurse chosen from the nominations will receive the hospital’s Patient Choice Award during Nurses’ Week, May 6-12.
SSMH asks former patients and their family members to be involved in spotlighting an exceptional nurse because patients are the ones directly impacted by outstanding care.
“Sometimes it’s just too hard to spot one nurse when there are so many nurses in our hospital doing such an incredible job caring for our
patients,” says SSMH Chief Nursing Officer Cindy Kugel. “That’s why we are asking patients to help us make the choice. They see the little things that matter so much on a very personal level.”
If you or a family member has come to Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital for inpatient, outpatient or emergency care in the last year, and you’d like to thank a nurse for going the extra mile, don’t miss this chance.
Nominations for the 2009 Patient Choice Award will be accepted until April 29. To nominate a nurse, send the nurse’s name and a few paragraphs explaining your nomination, along with your own name (and the name of the patient), address and phone number.
E-mail, mail or fax your nomination by April 29. E-mail nominations to smoran@ssmh.us; mail to Shelly Moran, Marketing Coordinator, Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital, 205 E. Jefferson, Siloam Springs, AR 72761; fax to (479) 549-2542; or visit www.siloamspringsmemorial.com home page for an online nomination.
