We are very pleased to announce the June Shining Star -- Susana Borje.

July 6, 2009 Susana frequently receives compliments from patients and other employees. She has been with HPMC as a nursing assistant since 2002.

Sherry Childress, Director, wrote the following words of recognition: . . . “she is efficient, accurate in her work and very organized, but also caring and talented at keeping the patients informed of what she is doing. Susana has a very warm and friendly smile. She keeps us informed and lets me know when things are coming due, if supplies are low, and when I need to follow-up on things. She just makes it easier for me to do my work.” Sherry adds, “I later learned that she does the exact same thing for me that she does for her patients and families. I knew then why the patients and staff recognized Susana and why she receives so many compliments on her care. She cares about them and for them, never hesitating to help. She made it easier for them to be patients in our hospital; always smiling and caring for their needs.”

Susana’s co-workers echo Sherry’s comments: “She knows what she is doing.” “She is easy to work with.” “You do not have to tell her what to do, she knows.” “She takes the initiative to do things for others.” “She is always flexible and receives feedback well.” “She is very responsible.” “Patients like her and she gets lots of positive comments.”
“She helps me to do a better job.”

Congratulations and keep on shining! (if you would like to nominate someone for Shining Star recognition, please fill out a Shining Star nomination form—they can be found throughout the hospital).
