Congratulations to our March McAuley Award winner - Aric Lassiter, Imaging Specialist in Medical Engineering!

Why did Aric win this award?
"Aric has gone above and beyond in many occasions, but the event that happened a couple of months ago was very impressive. He worked throughout the night diligently to confirm that the PET/CT scanner would be up and running the following day. This saved many cancer patients from having to reschedule an important time sensitive procedure. Thank you so much for surpassing our expectations and making ESJH a better place for our staff and patients."

"Carmen is the BEST manager. She invests time and energy to get to know her employees by spending time with them. She is very present on the unit and will often spend time walking around to check on staff or hanging out in the lunch room so that she knows not only what is going on in the unit but also what is going on in the personal lives of her staff. Carmen has excellent people skills and is a great listener. She is fair and can effectively communicate with her staff if there is something that could be done better. Carmen is also very supportive of their staff. Carmen is supportive and empathetic. It is a joy to work for her!"
