UPMC support staff receives BEE Award

Williamsport, Pa. — UPMC has awarded a BEE award to a support staff member at Cole Manor, part of UPMC Senior Communities.

Bernadette Main, medical technician, earned the BEE Award for her outstanding support of the nursing team.

The BEE Award, meaning Be Extraordinary Every Day, recognizes the care team that supports nursing staff and works closely with them to provide patients with the compassion and care they need.

Bernadette was nominated by two residents, one who shared:

“I would like to nominate Bernadette for the care she gave me when I had a bug bite on my back. I had Bernadette look at it and she identified it needed care immediately before it got infected. Every morning, she changed the dressings and after several days, it looked better and had not spread. She gave her time, care, and the attention that I needed. Bernadette is a very caring and patient person.”
