Auburn, Neb (November 6, 2017). — The Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) recognized 66 statewide hospital employees October 27, 2017, for their excellence in service by bestowing them with the organization’s prestigious “The Caring Kind” award. Among the awarded was Carol Schneider of Nemaha County Hospital.
For 38 years, The Caring Kind award has been given to Nebraska’s most caring and compassionate hospital employees. The award honors outstanding healthcare employees who have demonstrated compassion for patients, cooperation with co-workers and dedication to excellence in their job responsibilities.
“It is such an honor for me to meet ‘The Caring Kind’ award recipients each year. They demonstrate the kindness, caring, dedication and commitment to their hospitals which is why they were awarded this recognition,” NHA President Laura J. Redoutey, FACHE, said.
“I am very honored to have received this award and to be able to represent Nemaha County Hospital in this manner,” said Carol Schneider. “Thank you to all the employees at Nemaha County Hospital.”
Hospitals across the state each select one The Caring Kind award recipient from within their respective institutions to be recognized during the NHA Annual Convention.
More than 2,400 caring, skilled and dedicated health care professionals have received this award since its inception in 1979. This year, 66 employees throughout the state of Nebraska were honored before nearly 500 people in attendance at The Caring Kind Awards Luncheon held at Embassy Suites Omaha-La Vista Hotel & Conference Center in La Vista.
The event showcases the exemplary work and care hospital employees provide every day throughout the year. Every Nebraska hospital employee plays a critical role in providing high-quality, cost-effective treatment and ensuring the safety of themselves, their co-workers and patients each and every day.
These honorees are star performers through their dedication to patients and teamwork, ensuring that care is safe, quality-driven and cost-effective for consumers, as well as for the organizations they represent.
