The BEE Award honors and recognizes team members outside of nursing who go Beyond Exceptional Expectations (BEE). These team members provide extraordinary experiences for our patients, their families and visitors by exemplifying quality service and extraordinary care.
Recent BEE Award Winners:
Tami Rodriguez, Ambulatory Care
Nomination Year: 2025
Nominated by: Rebecca Butler, Co-Worker
Story #1: “When things were buzzing in the Heart and Vascular Clinic and we were swamped, I headed over to Ambulatory to borrow their EKG cart. Tami didn’t just say “yes” — she jumped right in, came over, and helped us get caught up! Her teamwork, positive attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile made a huge difference for both our patients and our team.”
Mark Justmann, Maintenance
Nomination Year: 2025
Nominated by: Paige Tyson, Co-Worker
Story #1: Earlier today I was running out to my automobile when I noticed an older gentleman in his vehicle and he looked lost. I stopped and spoke to the man in the parking lot. He was back by the loading dock looking for Dr. Neil’s office (MOB).
I was explaining how to drive to the location when I noticed Mark Justmann passing by in a Bobcat. I asked Mark if he wouldn’t mind driving to the MOB lot while the older gentleman followed. Of course (as always) Mark agreed to help.
As I watched them drive away I noticed the Bobcat did not resurface for quite some time. Mark Justmann went out of his way to help this patient not only find the parking lot, but assisted the patient by walking him into MOB directly to the clinic. Time and again, Mark goes above and beyond to help not only fellow coworkers, but patients as well.
Natalie Rettschlag, Radiology
Nomination Year: 2025
Nominated by: Miranda Kletsch, Emergency Department RN
Story #1: Natalie is always willing, though it may not necessarily be part of her day-to-day job duties to step in and help when/where needed outside of her own department needs for the sake of patient care and colleague needs going above and beyond exemplifying the WRMC motto. Thank you, Natalie! Your help and willingness to step in to provide an extra hand is most greatly appreciated!
- The ER was busy and on January 5, Natalie knew I was looking for help from colleagues – but all were busy, so she jumped in – offered to help roll a patient back and forth in bed to place on and off the bedpan; helped change linens and clean patient up.
- A different day the ER was again busy, and staff were all tied up in other patient care. She just brought a patient back from Radiology and the patient needed to use the bathroom, we also needed a urine analysis. She double checked with staff, and she helped walk patient to the bathroom and set them up for UA collection.
