The Fourth Annual Berton and Sallie Korman Family Prize was awarded on November 11, 2024 at Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital. Bert and Sallie recognized that our staff are the living embodiment of our mission, and they are the ones who make it come to life. To honor the incredible staff at Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital, the Korman family awards $20,000 to two staff members, nominated by their peers, who best represent the qualities found in Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital’s five pillars: Quality, Service, Academics, Diversity & Inclusion, and People.
This year, the Berton and Sallie Korman Family Prize was awarded to Jill Ranochak and Christine Gorrell from the Medical Oncology Department for their dedication and willingness to go above and beyond for our patients, staff, and community.
Jill is known for creating a unique culture that promotes teamwork, patient care, and patient safety. As the Ambulatory Nurse Manager, Jill implemented a new program that utilizes palliative care and patient transition to create a continuity of care from the inpatient transition to symptom management for our clinic patients in the outpatient setting. Congratulations, Jill and thank you for all that you do!
Chris serves as the Administrator for the Oncology Service line and is a valued member of the leadership team. Chris works hard for her department and goes above and beyond to organize things like the Walk & 5K Run Through the Park, Survivors Day, Lung Screening Symposiums, and other outreach programs in the community. Congratulations, Chris and on behalf of everyone in the community, we are lucky to have you as part of our team!
