The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has honored four units within Virtua hospitals with the Beacon Award for Excellence. This national recognition is given to nurses who exemplify high-quality patient care standards.
The award, valid for three years, acknowledges significant achievements in patient care and work environments. It specifically honors caregivers who adhere to AACN’s Healthy Work Environment Standards.
Mary A. McCormick, vice president and chief nursing officer at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, remarked on the significance of the award: “In many ways, nurses serve as a beacon for their patients by providing hope, knowledge, and comfort. Similarly, the Beacon Award helps to shine a light on units that provide exceptional care and experiences.”
Virtua hospital units have previously been recipients of this award. These include the Special Care Nursery at Virtua Mount Holly and the Progressive Care Unit at Virtua Marlton.
Shannon Stillwell, vice-president and chief nursing officer of Virtua Mount Holly Hospital, stated: “The Beacon Award recognizes the health care expertise that our nurses provide to our patients and their families daily.”
Heidi Baur, vice president and chief nursing officer for Virtua’s hospitals in Voorhees and Marlton, added: “It is also a tremendous tribute to the collaboration, teamwork, and Culture of WE that our nurses have created, which makes it all possible. We are tremendously proud of their commitment to excellence.”
