Halifax Health honored team members with an Olympic-themed multimedia presentation celebration and luncheon at the Hilton Daytona Beach, celebrating their commitment, service and significant milestones.
The event recognized team members for their five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 years of service, with special recognition given to Sharon James, a registered nurse, for her 50 years of dedication to Halifax Health, and Bobby Halleck, whose peers voted him Team Member of the Year.
"It is truly inspiring to see the longevity and commitment of our team members," said Jeff Feasel, president and CEO of Halifax Health. "Their dedication to Halifax Health's success and providing the highest level of care is what sets us apart. Sharon James' 50 years of service and Bobby Halleck’s work every day represents our commitment to excellence.”
The celebration also featured the presentation of service pins to tenured team members, along with a special acknowledgment of the 2024 Team Members of the Month, whose names were displayed on screens throughout the venue:
During the event, Halifax Health also celebrated its nursing professionals with the DAISY Award, an accolade established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of Patrick Barnes, who passed away at 33 years old from an autoimmune disease. This national award honors nurses who demonstrate exceptional clinical skills, empathy, and a commitment to the nursing profession.
In addition, the Shared Governance Council presented the 2024 Nurse of Excellence and Rookie of the Year awards, recognizing the extraordinary contributions of Halifax Health's nursing staff. This year's Rookie of the Year was Lashawndra Davis, a registered nurse from the Surgical Care Unit. The Nurse of Excellence award went to Alexandra Dunne, also a registered nurse from the Surgical Care Unit.
Further accolades included the recognition of Quality Caregivers of the Year in both inpatient and outpatient settings. LaDale Batson, a patient care technician from the Surgical Care Unit, received the Inpatient Quality Caregiver of the Year award. Cheryl Bohr, a certified nursing assistant in the Radiology Outpatient Unit, was honored as the Outpatient Quality Caregiver of the Year.
Team Member of the Year Bobby Halleck received a $500 award from the Halifax Health Auxiliary, $500 from the Halifax Health medical staff, a designated parking spot for the year, flowers, and a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew.
