Beebe Medical Center Honors Cathy Peck with the “You Make a Difference” Award for April

Cathy Peck, OR Materials Manager at Beebe Medical Center, has been honored with the “You make a Difference” Award for April.

Cathy’s knowledge and expertise enables her to anticipate the needs of our physicians for each scheduled case. She has a keen eye for knowing what particular items each physician uses for his or her surgeries. She goes above and beyond obtaining the specific supplies, all the while keeping costs down and efficiency up.  As a result of her efforts, the OR runs smoothly and surgeries go on as scheduled, making for better patient satisfaction.

Cathy is always ready and willing to assist team members. She knows where supplies are and makes sure that our surgical teams have items within minutes when they are needed. 

She is known amongst those in the OR as the ‘unsung hero.’ She helps surgeons and surgical team members, as well as other staff members in the OR. She always puts the patient’s safety first.

Cathy is an outstanding role model and leader for all of us to follow. We are proud to have her on our team!

Beebe Medical Center’s “You Make a Difference” (YMAD) employee recognition program, which was established in 2002, gives employees the opportunity to recognize their colleagues for outstanding service.  The program is similar to an employee of the month program, but 18 employees can be selected annually.  Each nomination, submitted by fellow employees or management, must meet specific criteria, and is evaluated by the YMAD committee.  Winners are announced in a surprise ceremony in which the committee visits the winner in his or her department and presents the award.  Employees selected for the award receive:

• Parking space with sign/plaque for a month
• $100 check
• Letter of congratulations and personal visit from Jeffrey Fried, Beebe president and CEO
• Photo for wall plaque on hall outside of cafeteria
• Special pin for badge
• Letter to team member’s director and department recognition
