This Award was established to honor our first “Unsung Hero” Becky Burress, UCA’s very first staff member. Becky passed away suddenly in August 2019, and this Award serves as a permanent honor for all those exceptional front line staff who work tirelessly and selflessly above and beyond the call of duty in the work they do behind the scenes at your urgent care center(s). Please provide a description of why you think this individual goes above and beyond the call of duty in their role within your center.
