🏆 Yesterday the Traveling Trophy was passed from Case Management to our Wellness Center Team! 🏆

"To our Wellness Center Team,

Each morning as we walk through the doors, we’re greeted by your warm smiles and friendly hellos. These simple yet meaningful acts set the tone for the day—they remind us that kindness, wellness, and human connection truly start right here, with all of you.

Your Gallup Strengths beautifully reflect the heart of who you are as a team:

Executing Strengths (Achiever, Responsibility, Discipline): You make wellness happen. You don’t just talk about healthy living—you live it, model it, and inspire others to follow. Whether it’s organizing programs, managing schedules, or maintaining a space that invites others in, your consistency and reliability shine through every detail.

Influencing Strengths (Communication, Woo): You motivate and uplift those around you. You have the natural gift of connecting with others—encouraging participation, cheering people on, and reminding us that wellness is a journey best shared together.

Relationship Building Strengths (Empathy, Developer, Positivity, Harmony): This is where you truly excel. You bring out the best in each other and in everyone you encounter. Your warmth, compassion, and genuine care make the Wellness Center more than a facility—it’s a welcoming community where people feel seen, supported, and valued.

Strategic Thinking Strengths (Analytical, Strategic): You help us look ahead—setting goals, planning for improvement, and ensuring that wellness remains a sustainable and intentional part of our hospital culture.

Your strengths don’t just describe how you work—they reveal how deeply you care for our community. You champion health, hope, and healing in everything you do. From early mornings to late evenings, you serve as a living reminder that wellness begins with people who truly care.

Thank you for opening your doors—and your hearts—to everyone who walks in. You make a difference every day."

Congratulations Wellness Center Team! 🙌

It is Perioperative (OR) Nurse Day!

Operating room nurses have a vital role in making surgeries safe and ensuring successful patient outcomes. If you or someone you love has had a surgical procedure, a perioperative registered nurse was responsible for you or your loved one throughout the operation.

Congratulations to BBGH's November Employee of the Month - Amy Osborn! Your devotion to excellent patient care makes a difference! Thank you!

Her nomination reads, “I nominate Amy Osborn because she exhibits the BBGH values of Safety, Excellence, Compassion, Integrity, Teamwork, and Devotion. It is my privilege to nominate Amy for Employee of the Month at Box Butte General Hospital. Amy has been a dedicated member of our team for four years, providing exceptional care since her very first day. It is truly overdue that she receives this recognition-her continued hard work, dedication, and compassion are a testament to the outstanding employee she is. Amy exemplifies all of our core values: safety, excellence, compassion, integrity, teamwork, and devotion. Her commitment to patient safety is unwavering, and she is meticulous in ensuring every patient receives the right care at the right time. Amy’s pursuit of excellence is evident in her willingness to go above and beyond, such as when she personally delivered essential supplies to a patient in a neighboring town after their procedure. She didn’t have to do this- she could have easily told the patient to go to their local ER to get what they needed. Instead, Amy chose to go out of her way, after a full day of work, to ensure the patient could rest and recover at home. This selfless act prevented unnecessary stress and inconvenience for the patient and truly exemplifies her commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care."
