EXCELLENCE IN CARE
Excellence in care requires meeting the particular needs of the patient - even when multiple obstacles stand in the way. Emily Lingelbach, Medical Assistant V, recently demonstrated persistence, dedication and compassion to help a young patient. According to Associate Director of Nursing Tania Murrell, Lingelbach encountered a patient who had twice tested positive for a sexually transmitted infection. The patient had not disclosed her sexual activity to her parents - making accessing care somewhat delicate.
Taking a proactive approach, Lingelbach coordinated with the patient and the OneWorld sexual health outreach team to deliver medication directly to the patient. “Emily’s dedication to our mission and values shines brightly through her actions, and I believe it is essential to acknowledge and celebrate her exemplary service,” Murrell said. “Her initiative, problem-solving skills, and genuine concern for the well-being of our patients embody the spirit of our organization.” Going above and beyond is excellence in action.
