Mandy Seawell, certified pharmacy technician at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital, is the most recent recipient of the BEE award, which recognizes employees who go above and beyond to fulfill FirstHealth’s core purpose: To Care for People.
Seawell was nominated by staff in the emergency department for consistently going out of her way to help patients, families and staff.
Seawell has worked at FirstHealth for 32 years. She started out as a courier delivering medicines at Moore Regional before she became a pharmacy technician. She has served in the pharmacy at Moore Regional and Montgomery Memorial Hospital and previously worked with the medication assistance program through FirstHealth’s community health services department. For the last two years, she’s worked as a certified pharmacy technician in the emergency department at Moore Regional, a role she finds to be extremely rewarding.
“I feel like I’m part of an important care team in the emergency department,” Seawell said in a press release. “The staff in the ED are extremely supportive, and we have outstanding leadership in the pharmacy. I’m so humbled to receive this award, and I share it with the entire team. I love my job and work every day to be a shining light and provide comfort and care to the staff, patients and families in the emergency department.”
Details from the nomination letter describing Mandy as always having a smile on her face and a calmness in her voice were mentioned in the press release as well. “She speaks to patients like she would speak to her own family,” the letter reads. “FirstHealth is lucky to have such a caring professional employee who truly puts patient care first every time she works.”
According to Drew Kessell, PharmD, director, clinical pharmacy services, there is no one more deserving of this award than Mandy.
“Mandy is kind, genuine and selfless,” Kessell said in a press release. “She exemplifies FirstHealth’s core purpose To Care for People. The BEE award is a wonderful way to recognize and reward extraordinary staff like Mandy who go above and beyond to provide an exceptional patient experience.”
