SGMC Health is proud to recognize Edna Williams, Health Unit Coordinator at SGMC Health Villa, as this month's recipient of the Being Extraordinary Everyday (BEE) Award. The award celebrates non-nursing team members who make a lasting difference through exceptional service, compassion, and dedication to patients, residents, families, and fellow team members.

Known by many at the skilled nursing facility in Lakeland, Williams consistently goes above and beyond to support those around her. Whether assisting residents and families, helping coworkers, or keeping daily operations running smoothly, she approaches every task with kindness, positivity, and a servant's heart.

Williams was nominated for her selfless nature and unwavering commitment to others. Coworkers describe her as someone who is always willing to lend a helping hand, offering support, encouragement, and reassurance whenever it is needed. One colleague shared that Williams was among the first people to welcome and encourage them when they joined the team, providing friendship and support that has lasted for years.

In addition to the work she does each day, Williams is recognized for the joy she brings to those around her. Her sense of humor, positive attitude, and genuine care for others help lift spirits and create a welcoming environment for residents and staff alike.

Williams' dedication, compassion, and generosity embody the spirit of the BEE Award and leave a lasting impression on everyone she encounters.
