Harrison was nominated by a fellow employee. She had been very concerned about an employee who had gone home not feeling well, and alerted a nurse. If it had not been for Harrison’s concern and actions, this employee may have suffered dire consequences. She is also noted to have a great attitude and is wonderful with patients.

Palmer was nominated by a visitor (a physician) for the way she handled a very difficult situation with a patient and family member. She remained calm and helpful and went the extra mile to turn a challenging situation into a positive one. “This is the type of employee I would hire for my office. She is outstanding,” wrote the patient.
Lisa

his/her practice setting. Each recipient received an AREA Award badge holder,
a framed certificate, a Be My Guest dining card in the amount of $50 and
a cake to share with co-workers.
