Miriam Brancato, RN, was recently named University Healthcare Berkeley Medical Center’s Quality Service Award winner for May 2014.
Each month, the hospital’s Service Award Committee selects an employee to receive the Quality Service Award. Brancato, a staff nurse on the Behavioral Health Unit, was selected because she is “an outstanding nurse and role model to all staff on the Behavioral Health Unit,” a colleague wrote.
“Miriam is constantly caring for others, with arguably little recognition. She exhibits pristine professionalism, high integrity, strong charisma, and excellent moral code. As a nurse, she beholds strong values for patient safety and recovery,” her colleague added.
Criteria for selection as a Quality Service Award recipient includes: demonstrating a consistently high level of productivity and quality of work along with a high degree of initiative in performing work responsibilities, displaying exceptional dependability, exhibiting effective relationships with others, displaying a commitment to service and serving the Berkeley Medical Center community, and meeting the criteria for the University Healthcare mission, vision and values.
Nomination forms for the Quality Service Award are available at locations throughout the Berkeley Medical Center campus. Anyone who witnesses an employee displaying outstanding service is encouraged to complete and submit a nomination form.
