Sunflower Award

The Sunflower Award

Honoring the contributions of our non-nursing support staff and caregivers.

  

The Sunflower Award

 

Healthcare doesn’t happen in a vacuum, which is why St. Tammany Health System introduced its Sunflower Award program to give patients, visitors, STHS colleagues and others a way to recognize non-nursing support staff and caregivers for outstanding contributions to our healing mission.

Nominees should exemplify one or more of the following Sunflower standards:

Supports nursing staff, skillful, sincere, self-confident

Unique, understanding, upbeat

Nurturing, not afraid of change

Fosters positive interactions and connections with patients

Likeable, loyal, logical

Outgoing, open-minded, optimistic

Welcoming, willing, warm

Embraces St. Tammany Health System’s standards, effective communicator, eager

Reliable, resourceful


All nominees will be forwarded to a committee that will consider them blindly, with two winners selected every quarter.

In addition to a certificate in an embossed holder, winners will receive a Sunflower pin to wear on their STHS name badge (so everyone will know how awesome they are), as well as sunflower seeds for planting and an STHS swag bag. Those nominated but not selected as a winner will receive acknowledgment of their nomination in the form of a thank-you note sent to their home by the health system.

Want to nominate someone for a Sunflower? Simply fill out and submit the electronic form below, and we’ll take care of the rest!
