Sterile Processing and Distribution
I would like to offer a small token of appreciation to Marie Kramer for her exceptional team spirit and caring for everyone. Marie treats everyone she comes in contact with great respect, love and consideration. She truly exhibits her commitment to our mission here at LRHS. Her continual special gifts to her co-workers are overshadowed by her continual displays of love for her fellow man. Whether you are working directly with Marie or if she hears someone having difficulties, Marie will try to help. Marie is, without a doubt, an angel on earth. She never stops and never expects anything in return. We can all learn from Marie about how we need to treat each other and offer love, kindness and caring.

Clinical Informatics
This was my first time taking call in my new department. There was a problem with charting in the ED that I didn’t know how to fix. Carl-who was not on call-- took two phone calls at home, called the ED to assist and called me back to fill me in on how to handle the problem. Thank you for your help and making me feel comfortable even though I was bugging you at home.

Community Health Center
Dee Dee arranged and paid for transportation of an elderly terminally ill patient to come into the Community Health Center so he did not have to walk in the extremely cold weather. Thanks Dee Dee.

Rehabilitation Services
I just wanted to let you all know what a great team player we have in Rehab Services. On Saturday, I received an order for a wound care evaluation on an involved patient. I was looking for some guidance regarding what type of dressings may be appropriate for this involved wound. I tried calling several therapists, however, no one was available until I got in contact with Brian. After much discussion about the patient’s status. Brian insisted on coming in on Sunday morning (on a holiday weekend, no less) to look at the patient with me. I repeatedly told him that it was absolutely unnecessary and that I did not want him to do that. However, Brian would not take no for an answer. With Brian’s guidance, I was able to take care of the patient to the best of my ability. Brian went above and beyond what was necessary to help me out and I just wanted everyone to be aware of the great team player we have on our staff. I think it is important to recognize him for all he did to help me out. Thank you Brian!

Pulmonary Rehab
I have had to come in numerous times for PFT tests due to a chronic condition. Two weeks ago, I had to come in early Monday and late on Friday to have tests per my doctor. Karen came in on her days off to give me the tests. WOW! She is always friendly and helpful and puts me at ease. Karen goes above and beyond any quality standards that you might have set. She is truly an asset to my healthcare and I consider her part of my healthcare team.
