Recognizing Extraordinary Nurses and Team Members

At AdventHealth Polk, we know the care we provide isn’t possible without our entire team. It’s important to our values to recognize those who care for you in body, mind and spirit.

The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award honors and celebrates the skilled, compassionate care nurses provide every day.

The BEE (Be Exceptional Everyday) Award was developed to recognize outstanding team members, like nursing assistants, physical therapists and dietitians, without whom the nursing team would be incomplete.
