Tamarack Health is proud to announce that Nichole Marleau and William Carli are the recipients of the North Star Employee Excellence Award, recognizing their outstanding commitment to patient care and service.

In Hayward, Nichole was nominated by a grateful parent who explained how Nichole provided physical therapy care with compassion and understanding far above expectations.

"She delivered her knowledge in such an empowering way as a patient, especially with such a touchy subject; never once did I feel shame or embarrassed. I felt heard, I felt valued and validated, I felt comfortable, and I knew I was in such good hands for my care. Nichole was truly such a blessing to my recovery.”

In Ashland, William was nominated by a patient undergoing a routine vision test. When Will noticed something a little off, he did some extra tests, brought in the doctors, and it was discovered that the patient had a macular hole.

“He had an idea that something was really wrong by the results of the vision test. He made sure I knew he was not a doctor, but had enough experience to know that this needed to be brought to the doctor’s attention. I will be having surgery to repair the hole and hopefully restore my vision. I want to thank Will for taking the time to do the extra tests that were needed to find the problem.”
