TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Wednesday, at Union Health, the annual Bhuptani Excellence in Service and Nursing Awards were announced.
A ceremony was held to recognize exceptional health care professionals who demonstrate the best qualities of hospital employees, such as compassion and service.
The award is voted on by employees and patients at Union Health.
This year, Joyce Vines won the nursing award, and Aimee Cottrell won the service award.
Cottrell said, the fact that she was recognized by her peers and patients makes this award personally special.
'It means a lot', Cottrell said. 'I couldn't be who I am without them. I am good at my job because I have amazing co-workers, and I have wonderful patients and wonderful doctors that I work with to make my job easy. I would not be successful without them.'
Cottrell said her family has sacrificed a lot for her to pursue this career, so she is planning to use the money and take them somewhere special.
