Doreen Ives awarded Beebe L.O.V.E. Letter

Beebe Healthcare recognized Doreen Ives as the July recipient of the Living Our Values Every Day Letter Award.

Ives  works in Beebe’s print room. She was recognized for going above and beyond to help print an influx of important documents and patient education materials during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Doreen is actually an unsung hero,” said Shadette Brittingham. “We are all pitching in and doing our best to help out wherever there is a need. With all of the testing, surge prepping, collaboration, and every other vital task to meet the needs of our community, patient education materials seem like a given. However, producing the mounds of patient education flyers requires a lot of time and effort on the hands of our Wonder Woman in the print room. While our community sees and shares their gratitude for all of the work the on-site testers are performing, they have no idea that Doreen put in a lot of hours to make sure the literature they are receiving at the community events is printed.”

Ives demonstrates many of the Beebe values, including achieving amazing accomplishments through exceptional teamwork, and dedicating oneself to being an expert in one’s field – always learning, always growing.

Awardees are announced in a surprise ceremony in which the committee visits the winner in his or her department and presents the award.

Letter wall plaque; a letter to the team member's director; and department recognition.
