Brian Rady has been named AdventHealth Gordon's latest SonShine Award recipient.
Rady, CT technologist lead at AdventHealth Gordon, received a nomination from a team member who recently had a family member admitted to the hospital. This team member said Rady showed this patient compassion, kindness and that he sincerely cared for their wellbeing. The nomination said the following:
“We talk about our service standards, and let me tell you, Brian lives out ‘keep me safe’ and ‘love me.’ The kindness, love and concern he had for this patient was exceptional. We are so thankful for him and his excellent work and bedside manner.”
The SonShine Award was established by AdventHealth Gordon in 2017 to honor the hard work and dedication of its team members. Quarterly awards provide opportunities for patients, visitors and other team members to recognize and reward team members for exceptional accomplishments and demonstrated behaviors that are aligned to the mission, vision and values of AdventHealth Gordon.
The name SonShine was developed by AdventHealth Gordon team members. The recipients of the SonShine award “shine” for the “Son” of God through their warm and comforting care they provide to patients and their fellow employees.
