A record? King gets 30 award nominations

Jill King with Connie Ferrier, Clinical Supervisor, and Laura Bourdon, CMA.

To be nominated for Associate of the Month is an honor.

To be nominated for Associate of the Month by 30 of your Beacon colleagues is AMAZING.

That’s how many nomination forms came into our BEAM inbox for Beacon Medical Group’s February Associate of the Month.

Associates couldn’t offer enough praise for Jill King, Clinical Supervisor, at Main Street Medical Group in Granger.

Congratulations, Jill, and all our February associate standouts.

We are proud to work with you!

Susan Smith
Memorial Hospital

“Susie displays all of the Beacon values. However, what comes to mind recently is her assistance in the IV medication bag shortage. She has assisted hospital-wide with education and keeping staff, including the pharmacy, updated on current conditions related to shortages. She has been providing weekly updates to all. This has been a big change to the organization and potential patient safety. She deserves recognition for taking it on and following through, never complaining or saying a negative thing. She just jumped in and took responsibility.” — Mary Thomas

Marvin Johnson
Elkhart General Hospital

“Marvin Johnson is a compassionate and respectable co-worker who is always more than willing to lend a hand to any employee, visitor or patient.” — Charles White

James Andert
Beacon Corporate

“James is a great guy to work with. He has been with the organization for 30+ plus years. He always has a smile on his face and a joke to tell. He is willing to step in and help even when he is busy with his own job responsibilities. Customers walk in the door and always go to James because he never turns them away with ‘that’s not mine.’ He keeps us laughing in our office daily.”

Cheryl Guidi
Beacon Health Ventures

“She always puts the patient at the center and goes above and beyond to assist them with their home health or HME needs. Cheryl also supports all Beacon associates to the best of her ability no matter if they are home care RNs or hospital floor RNs. She is so conscientious and truly goes the extra mile so that our patients have an exceptional experience no matter their needs. No need is too small and no need is favored over others.” — Suzanne Hemler

And in what The BEAM team thinks could be a new record for the number of nominations submitted, here is the BMG award.
