BARABOO, WIS (CIVIC MEDIA) – The awards recognize caregivers’ contributions to patient care and the community

SSM Health St. Clare Hospital – Baraboo leaders recognized two exceptional caregivers for their outstanding contributions to patient care and the community. Holly McMillin, RN, was honored with the DAISY Award, and Saroya Frosch received the BEE Award, celebrating their dedication, compassion, and excellence in their respective roles.

DAISY Award: Holly McMillin, RN – Emergency Department

Holly McMillin is a cornerstone of the Emergency Department, known for her calm demeanor, quick thinking, and unwavering commitment to her patients. Whether caring for a sick child, managing a trauma case, or supporting a colleague, Holly consistently delivers high-quality, compassionate care.

Her ability to read a room and respond swiftly has earned her praise from both patients and peers. One colleague shared, “I can’t tell you how many patients I bring back to CT who say, ‘That Holly is awesome! I really like her.’” Holly’s love for nursing shines through in every interaction, making her a deserving recipient of the DAISY Award.

BEE Award: Saroya Frosch – Radiation Oncology

Saroya Frosch is the welcoming face of the Radiation Oncology department, and her impact on patients is profound. Known for her warm smile and genuine kindness, Saroya goes out of her way to connect with every patient, offering comfort and support during challenging times.

Her dedication is evident in the relationships she builds — one patient even curates a daily “fashion show” just to share a moment with Saroya, showcasing a different pair of shoes each day. Saroya’s deep ties to the community and her compassionate approach make her a shining example of what the BEE Award represents: Being Exceptional Every day.

SSM Health St. Clare Hospital – Baraboo leaders are honored to celebrate Holly and Saroya for their extraordinary service. Their commitment to excellence and heartfelt care truly embody the mission and values of SSM Health.
