USA Health Recognizes You: April 4
USA Health regularly recognizes employees for going above and beyond in caring for patients and providing high-quality customer service.
King chosen as Safety MVP
Jeannie King, R.N., a nurse in the surgical navigation center at Children’s & Women’s Hospital, was chosen as the Safety MVP for the quarter at Children’s & Women’s Hospital. She received the use of a parking space and other gifts.
King was chosen for the award because of her quick action while interviewing a patient by phone for an upcoming surgery. Near the end of the interview, the patient began slurring his words. To rule out a poor phone connection, King hung up and called back, and a friend of the patient answered, confirming the patient’s slurred speech. King urged him to call 911. The patient was taken to an emergency room and transferred to University Hospital, where a stroke code was initiated, and the patient received treatment.
Safety MVPs are chosen from among the Great Catch winners for each quarter.
Stutts wins ‘Nothing Bundt the Best’ award
Carlos Stutts, R.N., a nurse in the pediatric ICU at Children’s & Women’s Hospital, was presented with a “Nothing Bundt the Best” award for February. Stutts was nominated for “going above and beyond for all of his patients and their families.”
Among the comments made about Stutts: “Carlos takes great care of his patients and is a great advocate for his patients. I know that a patient is in great hands and will receive excellent care when Carlos is their nurse.”
Massey named employee of the month
Latoya Massey, R.N., an infusion nurse at the Mitchell Cancer Institute in Fairhope, was named employee of the month for March.
Among the comments made about Massey: “Whenever it gets a little busy, Toya is there to help. She never complains about her workload, no matter how busy we are, and her positive attitude keeps patients motivated to fight their battle.”
