Her care went beyond the walls of the hospital—it was real, heartfelt, and deeply human.
From the moment I met Beth, I knew she was different. There’s a quiet strength about her—steady, grounded, and kind. She leads with both conviction and heart, caring deeply about BayCare and every person within it. She builds a culture of encouragement and trust, where people feel seen, supported, and safe to grow.

When I first joined this organization, I was excited but also unsure. New hospital, new responsibilities, new team. What I couldn’t have known was that the year ahead would shake me in ways I never expected.

Within months, I lost people I loved, and before I could even catch my breath, I was faced with my own health challenges that pulled me away from work. Everything felt fragile. I was trying to lead from afar, manage my emotions, and hold my world together all at once. But through that storm, one constant remained—Beth.

She didn’t just send a polite message or check in once to say the right thing. She showed up. She reached out again and again, asking how I really was, not just how things were going. She made sure my team was supported, that our work continued smoothly, and that I could focus on healing without guilt.

Her care went beyond the walls of the hospital—it was real, heartfelt, and deeply human. When I returned, she guided me with patience and grace. She reminded me that healing takes time and that I didn’t have to prove my strength to anyone. Through her example, she taught me what true leadership looks like—steady but never harsh, confident but always compassionate, visionary yet deeply present. She somehow makes everyone she encounters feel like they’re her top priority, even while running an entire hospital.

Beth has this remarkable gift for balancing excellence with empathy. She pushes for the highest standards in patient care while never losing sight of the people behind the work. She listens, she teaches, and she trusts her team to rise. Even in the busiest moments, she takes the time to offer thoughtful advice, to help troubleshoot, or to simply check in and ask, “How are you holding up?”

Because of Beth, I’ve learned how to lead with integrity and heart—how to move through challenges without losing the human side of leadership. She’s inspired me to grow, to believe in my resilience, and to extend the same compassion she’s shown me to others.

Beth Wells is more than a leader—she’s the heart of our team. Her kindness, strength, and unwavering support have left a mark on me and on everyone she leads. She truly embodies what it means to be a DAISY Nurse Leader: leading with both excellence and love.
