Employees receive AREA awards for exceptional performance

AREA (Accountability, Respect, Excellence Applause) awards were given to employees who have gone above and beyond their job description and have demonstrated actions exemplary to the mission, visions and values of the Medical University.

Employees received a $50 gift certificate to either Citadel or Northwoods mall. The AREA award recipients are: 

  • Christine Davidson, Cardiology: Davidson  tracked down medical records from another hospital to assist a potential patient. He had discovered a significant heart problem that required special attention prior to surgery. The individual called Davidson, who quickly helped the patient schedule an appointment. Davidson provided the ultimate in customer service.
  • Geraldine Jones, Parking Management: Jones handled more than 400 exiting customers from Parking Garage I during the power outage of July 25.  She had to process these customers “by hand,” having to compute validation amounts and two different cash-rates in her head, in an orderly manner. No easy task. 
  • Cory King, University Transportation: King took the time to help an older woman change a tire.  At the time the temperature was about 120 degrees on a black top street. The task was not easy and the older woman did not know one bit of English.
