Ben Kizior as Next GARDENER Award Winner

Deaconess Memorial Medical Center is excited to announce that the next recipient of the GARDENER Award is Ben Kizior.

Kizior works in the Laboratory and was nominated by a patient. In the nomination, he was described as one who took the extra time necessary to ensure appropriate follow-up for a patient so testing could be completed.

Deaconess Memorial Medical Center created The GARDENER Award as a result of the internationally known DAISY Award that recognizes the super-human efforts nurses perform every day.  Deaconess Memorial is fully aware that it takes an entire team to function as a hospital.  This team includes not only the nurses, but also maintenance, billers, therapists, medical records, food service, etc.  Every employee is necessary and plays an important role every day.  The nurses would not be able to provide the proper care to patients without the appropriate support staff.  The GARDENER Award was created to acknowledge incredible support staff that goes above and beyond his/her regular call of duty. 

Deaconess Memorial is grateful to have Kizior as part of our team.  For more information on the Gardener Award, please visit www.deaconess.com or contact Anna Borden in Deaconess Memorial’s Human Resources Department at 812-996-1488.
