Cumberland Medical Center is pleased to announce that Sue Werner, RN, in the 3A Nursing Department has been chosen as CMC’s CARE Ambassador for December, 2007.  Sue Werner, RN, has worked at Cumberland Medical Center since October 7, 2002.

Cumberland Medical Center is proud of each member of its staff and expects a high standard of performance at all times.  The CARE Ambassador of the Month program is designed to spotlight the “exceptional” employee – one who has surpassed the normal standard of excellence by a demonstration of skills or an act above and beyond expectations.

Employees may be nominated by co-workers, patients, visitors, or physicians.  Each nomination is carefully evaluated by a committee of hospital employees, and one employee is chosen each month if worthy of the award.  Honorable mention certificates are also awarded to those who are nominated.

Those employees nominated for CARE Ambassador for December were: Peggy Henion, RN, Cardiac Catheterization; Dwight Prescott, RN, Cardiac Catheterization; Heather Everett, RN, Cardiac Catheterization; Michelle Dobey, RN Cardiac Catheterization; Luther Myers, RN, Director, Cardiac Catheterization; Jim McMackin, President/CEO; Jackie Marlow, RN, Telemetry; and Sally Cooney, Benefits Manager, Human Resources.

CARE represents the following principles:  COURTESY, ATTITUDE, RESPECT, and EXCELLENCE.

Congratulations to Sue Werner, RN, on her selection as the CARE Ambassador of the Month for December.
