Vote for Your 2022 Healthcare Hero of the Year

The end of the year means it’s time to vote for who becomes the Healthcare Hero of the Year. 

Everyone who comes in contact with our happy hospital here in Ruleville becomes part of the North Sunflower family in one way or another.  And, like in every family, each person plays a vital role in making us who we are. 

Once a month, we select two people who exemplify this spirit and name them Healthcare Hero of the month – one who works in a clinical role and one who works in a non-clinical position.

Kind of like picking your favorite child; it is a difficult choice every month. This year, another 22 exceptional people were selected from over 500 truly remarkable family members (11 clinical and 11 non-clinical).

In 2021, our clinical Healthcare Hero of the year was Sharon Davis. We talked with both Sharon last week now that their reign as Healthcare Hero is coming to an end.

Sharon said she was proud to be honored, but she was ready for the honor to go to someone else. “Being Healthcare Hero of the Year Made me feel very appreciated.  It made me feel like my work was noticed.  But I want everybody to have a chance to feel like that.”

Sharon told us the secret to being Healthcare Hero of the year is in two words: Patience and Patients.

“You have to have a lot of patience to do this job, or this is not the place for you.  We are here to take care of our patients, whatever their needs.  This is their home, and we are here to care for them.

Ballots will be emailed to all employees with email addresses. You can get a paper ballot through your department if you don’t have an email address.  All ballots must be turned in by the 16th of December.
