Matthew Kenney, environmental services technician at McLaren Greater Lansing, was honored with the BEE Award. The BEE Award, which stands for “Be Extraordinary Every day,” recognizes health care team members who made an extraordinary difference in a patient's care or overall experience.
The nomination, submitted by a coworker, read as follows: “Matt is a phenomenal housekeeper! He is thorough and very receptive. He is great at his job. He is always polite, respectful, and willing to help in any way. We always know that things will be done and done well when he is working.”
Kenney was recognized by hospital leadership and coworkers as he received a certificate commending him for “being extraordinary every day.” He received a pin, treats, and a sculpture that symbolizes care and comfort.
Kenney has worked at McLaren Greater Lansing for 22 years and is an instrumental member of the environmental services department who helps keep our hospital campus clean and safe for our patients and staff.
About the BEE Award
While nursing staff are often recognized with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, the BEE Award was created to symbolize the exceptional care and services delivered by hospital team members outside of the nursing profession.
