Four times a year, the hospital recognizes a staff member or volunteer as a Care Champion. To be nominated, the person must demonstrate through words or actions an exemplary commitment to JMH patients, their co-workers, and the JMH employee code of conduct. Each quarter, the Employer of Choice Committee selects the most outstanding nominee.
Selina, who has been a part of the rehab team for about ten months, was nominated by both Chelsea Leahy, DPT, and Kaitlyn Cooney, DPT for going above and beyond in everything she does. “When helping me with a patient, Selina noticed that he had poor oral hygiene and made sure it was addressed,” Chelsea noted in her nomination. “When the patient started to resist, she suggested using a different flavor, which ended up being successful. She never hesitates to go the extra mile to ensure that her patients are receiving the best care possible.”
Selina’s verbal skills were also noted by Kaitlyn Cooney in her nomination. “She is very confident when discussing patient care and advocating for patient needs,” she wrote. “She has a caring and supportive manner and always attends the daily morning huddles so that she is well-prepared for her treatment sessions.”
The best part of her job, Selina said, is being able to have a positive impact on people’s lives. “I can show them they are capable of living their life, despite their diagnosis,” she said. Congratulations Selina!
Also nominated in the second quarter was Lisa Wigent, who works on Med/Surg.
