Nominate a Weezie’s Angel Healthcare Hero for Patient Safety and Outstanding Care
In 2014, The Louise Batz Patient Safety Foundation developed the Weezie's Angel Healthcare Hero Award in honor of Louise Batz, who was lovingly called Weezie by her family, to recognize those individuals in a hospital setting who go above and beyond in caring for patients, creating awareness, making good catches and advocating for patient safety.
Louise “Weezie” Batz spent her life helping others and bringing joy to those around her. She taught her daughter (and my friend) Laura Batz Townsend how to love, respect, and care for others, to never give up, to always persevere, and most importantly, never to lose hope.
When someone came to her with a problem, she would comfort them by saying,
‘It will be okay… together we will find the answer.'
The Weezie's Angel Healthcare Hero Award is an opportunity to honor each recipient's commitment to safety.
We are accepting nominations now for our 2025 Weezie's Angel Healthcare Hero Awards and will have a luncheon honoring them in the spring. I've hosted the awards luncheon in the past and hope to do so again this year. I'm also proud to be on the Board of this wonderful organization.
You can apply or nominate somebody on the website.
We look forward to learning more about your healthcare heroes!
