LYNN HARNER NAMED CARE AMBASSADOR FOR JANUARY, 2010

Cumberland Medical Center is pleased to announce that Lynn Harner, Secretary to Vice President of Professional Services, has been chosen as CMC’s CARE Ambassador for January, 2010. 

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 nominated in January were: Ben Gibson, Physical Therapy Assistant; Wanda Whittenburg, ED Patient Advocate; Amanda Hall, RN, Telemetry; Jill Worsham, RN, Telemetry; Karen Hancock, LPN, IV Therapy; Patti Smith, Department Secretary, FFG; Betty Threet, Senior Switchboard Operator; Cathy Hartsock, CNT, 3/A; Ashley Phillips, CNT, 3/A; Katie Burtrum, RN, 3/A; Thressa Sue Severs, LPN, 4/B; and Pam Bryant, Case Manager.

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