The American Association of Critical Care Nurses awards several distinctions each year for excellence, including the Beacon Award, which recognizes units within hospitals that set the standard of excellence and surpasses benchmarks both regionally and nationally.

In June, Brookwood’s Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) was awarded the Silver level of the Beacon Award. The unit will hold this award for the next three years and will be recognized at the next National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition conference in Spring of 2024.

With this award, Brookwood’s SICU is one of only 10 units in the state of Alabama to hold this distinction and one of 546 units in North America.
