A program to recognize the extraordinary care and contributions of our non-licensed nursing support staff continues at UHS with Aiyana Juhase, Main Tower 5, UHS Wilson Medical Center, who was named the latest winner of the Sunshine Award! Aiyana received the Sunshine Award, along with a bouquet of sunflowers in recognition of her accomplishments, and enjoyed cookies during the celebration.
The nursing assistant was nominated by a patient. In the nomination letter, the patient describes how a hospital stay during the holiday season was made more comfortable through the excellence of Aiyana’s care. The patient expressed her appreciation to Aiyana for explaining the delivery of her care, always tending to her needs, and making her feel at home.
“Aiyana helped to make my hospital stay over Christmas a little bit better. Her care for me was truly a gift,” the patient wrote. “Her care for me made this hospital stay the best one that I have had.”
Thank you to Aiyana for treating our patients with Compassion, a stellar example of our team living “The UHS Way!”
Patients, families, and colleagues are able to nominate any of our non-licensed support staff based on our UHS Values of Respect, Teamwork, Innovation, Trust, and especially Compassion. Nominations will be collected via paper - look for nomination kiosks and boxes at all UHS locations, via email at sunshine.awards@nyuhs.org, and electronically.
All nominees will be recognized, but each month, one nominee will be selected for a special recognition.
