Say hello to our most recent Spirit Award winner, Dr. Colleen McCurry! 👏🏼🌟
As a devoted family medicine provider and clinician leader, Dr. McCurry brings so much to our organization—expertise, collaboration, curiosity and persistence.
These very traits were on display as she supported a recent Clinical Communication Project which brought staff together from across the Gundersen region to establish standards for various modes of clinical communication. Through her leadership, staff felt supported and engaged with the process which helped influence this positive change. She has not only elevated the way we communicate but also ensured that the voice/perspective of the affiliate and regional locations was heard, valued and honored. 🩺💙
Dr. McCurry’s nominators say it’s difficult to fully capture the level of appreciation they have for her attention to detail, thoughtful planning and unwavering commitment to doing this work the right way. She was intentional and thoughtful in her approach. She engaged those closest to the work, listened deeply to understand our pain points and ultimately helped shape a stronger communication path forward.
Congrats, Dr. McCurry. We hope you are proud of what you helped establish and the impact it will make now and into the future!
This honor recognizes employees who embody our Values (our spirit): Belonging, Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Teamwork, and Humility. 🤜🤛🎉
