Mary Susan Brammer, MPT, DPT, exhibits excellence in her everyday
interactions with her acute care rehabilitation patients. Her patients
have described her as, "gentle, patient, a real gift" and "always so kind,
caring and patient."
Brittain Wood, BSN, RN, is a true champion of safety. He provides
one-on-one staff instruction, creates monthly unit infection rate posters
and quickly responds to phone calls and questions. Wood comes in at
odd hours to work with EVS staff and multiple in-services in dialysis,
ICU or other patient care areas.
Tarsha Blalock, HUC, is the epitome of integrity. She stays a step
ahead of her colleagues' needs so she is able to offer timely assistance.
She brings patients coffee, warms their food, moves items where
they can reach them and does everything she can to make them
comfortable.
Joanne Holowecki, RN-BC, BSN, CN IV, is a champion for diversity
in her role as cardiac rehabilitation nurse. She made sure the facility was
safe and offered every resource for a patient with significant cognitive
needs. As a result of the 12-week program, the patient's functional
ability improved, as well as her outlook.
Andrea Layton, RNBC, CDE, has consistently embodied and
modeled the value of teamwork. This past fall, she led the formation of
the Lifestyle and Disease Management Center. The program continues
to thrive because of her team's ability to creatively work together to
meet the needs of our patients and community.
