Medical Center Excellence

'Making a difference every day'



Employees of the Month


Sara Hendrix, Dietetic Services
"Recently, Sara Hendrix was asked if she knew of a way to provide a wedding cake to a patient who had just been married in the CCU. She did not hesitate a second. In about an hour she returned to the unit with five or six other dietary staff to congratulate the newlyweds. She even found a camera to take a picture of the moment."
Nominated by Sharon Schaller




Theryn Robinson, Environmental Services
"As an Environmental Services employee, Theryn's service has exceeded the requirements of the job. In a large organization, it is possible for people not to recognize when their help is needed. Theryn helped me when the equipment cart had faulted to keep the 75 pound battery in place when traveling on the incline to the Children's Hospital. He not only lifted the battery back onto the cart but assisted me down the hall to ICU. He also called bio med to notify them to repair the broken shelf on the cart."
Nominated by Toni Mullins


Erica Gordon, Dietetic Services
"A mother and her child were going through Erica Gordon's cash out line, when the child began to choke on a french fry. Erica quickly took the child and, by patting on the back, dislodged the fry and averted what could have been a fatal situation."
Nominated by Randy



Fredrika Wright, Environmental Services
"On Feb. 15 my mother finished her chemotherapy treatment but had to use the restroom on her way out. While I was pushing her in the wheel chair she had a bad accident and couldn't make it. Everything was all over her clothes and her chair. We saw the housekeeping lady cleaning and she asked if she could help. We said 'yes.' She got towels and wash clothes and helped me get mom cleaned up. Thank you Freddy."
Nominated by Vivian Worthstein
