South Georgia Medical Center honored its Berrien Campus Laboratory Staff, as well as Director of Nursing Selena Brady, as the April Hospital Heroes at its monthly Board of Directors meeting.
The lab was recognized for its dedication during the January spike of COVID-19, where they were processing significantly more tests than average. The team typically runs 4,800 tests per month but completed an additional 3,000 tests in January due to the rise in COVID cases.
Brady was honored for her community outreach efforts to provide the Berrien County Sheriff's Department with a donation of Narcan to equip officers to quickly save lives from drug overdoses.
"We are so proud of these remarkable team members for their extra effort to ensure the communities served by the Berrien Campus are well taken care of," said SGMC Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer and Chief Operating Officer Randy Smith. "They embody what it means to practice human kindness, and we are lucky to have them as a part of our organization."
The honorees received a standing ovation from those in attendance.
