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.
