to follow, always cheerful and cooperative, has a long fuse
and rarely gives the impression that he's at his wit's end!"
- Gail Coleman, LPN (July): "Kind, nurturing,
organized, thrifty, dedicated, comical. Is very nurturing, so
much so that the office staff calls her 'Momma'. Arrives at
work early to have everything prepared so day runs smoothly."

"Always has a pleasant, cheerful manner; she's kind, cooperative
and very understanding. Terry is focused on priority, quality,

"Steps in wherever needed, knowledgeable and helpful concerning
all computer and insurance questions. Goes the extra mile."

her fellow employees...willingness to help others have a quality
life."
Each employee of the month receives 24 hours of
earned time, ten free meals at the hospital, a spotlight in Cottage
Door, his or her name on a plaque, and a cash gift.
