Congratulations to Whitney Persell our recent Bee Award winner at Norton King's Daughters' Health! 🎉 Whitney was nominated by a coworker in the Norton King's Daughters' Health emergency room. Her nominator shared:

"Whitney sat and talked to a patient, helped her change, go to the bathroom, gave her food, and helped get her calm and back to bed. Whitney stayed with the patient and helped keep the patient calm and happy. She went out of her way to help the patient and in turn helped her ER nurses."

Thank you, Whitney and congratulations! 🐝 🏆
