FARMINGTON — David Scammon recently received the BEE Award (Be Exceptional Every Day) at Franklin Memorial Hospital in recognition

of his exceptional non-nursing care. A nutrition representative, Scammon was nominated by two colleagues, Susan Loughrey, MA CCC-SLP, the director of Physical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, and Emily Clemens, RN, a nurse on the Med/Surg unit.

Loughrey said in her nomination, “David delivers meal trays most weekdays to the Med/Surg unit. He is always smiling, greets patients by name, and is exceptionally polite and accommodating. He is like a bit of sunshine in the day for staff and patients. David is someone who truly seems to enjoy his job and interactions with others on a daily basis,” according to a news release from Jill Gray of Franklin Memorial Hospital.

Clemens echoed Loughrey’s sentiments, writing in her nomination, “David is an incredible dietary rep. Not only is he an incredible help to nursing staff, he is also patient and fantastic with patients. He will take time out of his busy day to interact and listen to the patients’ stories, which makes them feel incredibly important. I have heard many patients praise him for the time he takes.”

As FMH’s inaugural BEE recipient, Scammon was celebrated in a public ceremony on March 7.
