Employees of the Month

Lisa Jackson, Department of Surgery
"I first spoke with Lisa Jackson in February when I contacted her regarding my application for bariatric surgery. During the last five or more months, Lisa has been extremely kind and patient. She was constantly in a great mood and made me feel comfortable in asking my questions. She responded to my emails within the same day, usually within the hour. She's the first person I spoke to in the MUSC Bariatric Program, and she made an outstanding impression on me. It's obvious to me that Lisa loves her job."
Nominated by Laura Newkirk

Shannon Gray, 9E
"First, let me say that all your professionals at MUSC have been wonderful, caring and from my eyes, well-trained. However, Shannon Gray, R.N., has gone the "extra mile." My wife was in the ICU three weeks before coming to 902 East with a brain aneurysm. Yesterday I observed and assisted Shannon in giving my wife a complete shampoo and conditioning. She also used her own products for this. Shannon is an asset to you and she is a true professional, caring person."

Julie Heckman, Pediatric Emergency Department
"Julie Heckman, nurse manager of the Pediatric Emergency Department, was headed to the Ambulatory Care Services Admin building/Rite Aid building. As she looked up, this distraught young guy looked at her and said, "You are in scrubs and must know how to get to the emergency department." Julie asked him what happened. He told her that he had cut the tip of his finger off while at work. He had a bloody finger wrapped up in paper towels and the tip of his finger in his other hand. He was scared but Julie calmed him down and got him to the adult ED. This is what Excellence is all about; she always goes the extra mile."
