Let the GOOD TIMES Roll!
Congratulations to the following employees for “being caught in the act” of doing the
right thing for our patients and co-workers. The photos on the front coincide with the
great stories below. Don’t be surprised to see yourself included in a future edition
of the ECM Good Times!
Amanda Covington, 6 West “This is a very nice young lady. She bent over backwards
sitting in here talking to me and taking care of me. We need more nurses like her. She was
God-sent to do this job. Thank you, Amanda.”
Annette Woods, 6 West “Annette was so helpful in every way. She would go out of her way
to care for the patient’s needs. She answered every question I had about my care and what to
expect. She was always on time. This kind of care is special. Thank you, Annette, for making
my stay so pleasant.”
Ashley Lovelace, 6 West “I would recommend Ashley to anyone! She was absolutely
amazing—I am determined she is the best member of your staff.”
Britney Schulte, 6 West “Britney called me to express concern for a pt. She took it upon
herself to look throughout the pt’s history and call me with concerns. She really came through
for and saved the patient. Britney is an asset to the nursing field.”
Carson Randolph, 6 West “This little lady is my caretaker. She is one of the best. She goes
out of her way to help in any way she can! I wish all your nurses were more like Carson. Keep
up the great work, Carson.”
Chappell Brink, 6 West “She is a very nice young lady. She tells me what I need to know.
She loves you and treats you how you want to be treated. One honest young lady! That’s
exactly what we needed. Thank you, Chappell, for being exactly who we needed.”
Chastity Beene, 3 West “The professionalism and care when my health began to decline was
amazing. Actually, all who helped me were great. A thumbs up to Chastity and the rest of the
staff for their professional care at ECM.”
Chris Brill, Respiratory “I was moving a bed to CTRU and the bed was proving difficult to
move. Chris stepped in and helped me get it going. Thank you, Chris, for all the unspoken
things you do!”
Emory Burns, 1 West “Emory was filling in for CTRU and did an excellent job. Then we had
the pleasure of having her again in PCU! Thank you, Emory, for you kindness,
compassion, and skill. You are the sweetest thing!”
Greg Kratohvil, 6 West “Greg is outstanding! I am so grateful for the kindness he showed me
and my family—you are amazing, Greg! Thank you for all you continue to do.”
Gwen Romans, Respiratory “She helped care for our patients. In doing this, she gave other
staff members the chance to take a break and get re-energized. Thank you, Gwen, for all you did
for us!”
Holly Blackburn, CTRU “Thank you, friend, for taking such good care of my husband. It was so
comforting to know you were caring for him right out of surgery. Your love, energy, and skills
were truly appreciated. God bless you.”
Jackie Bevis, 4 West “Jackie went above and beyond with my care. I truly don’t think I would
have made it through emotionally if it weren’t for her. I just want her to know she is an absolute
angel on Earth! My husband and I are so grateful we had her throughout this journey. Thank you
so much, Jackie!”
Jarrod Hobbs, IS “Jarrod had to fix my account. He came up to my desk and had lots of
patience with me. He got everything working once again. Thanks for the great work, Jarrod!
Keep it up.”
Jenny Brooks, 4 West “My delivery was very difficult for me. We worked all day and most of
the night without much progress. I was about ready to give up, and Jenny gave me the strength
and motivation to continue. Soon, my daughter was born. Thank you so much, Jenny, for being
there for me!”
Jessica Potts, 6 West “She is the most caring, sweetest, and helpful person we have ever met.
She was always willing to do anything we asked of her—and more. She is a top-notch nurse! We
love nurse Jessica!”
Joan Petrosky, 5 West “Joan was very caring and helpful. We were faced with making some
heart-breaking decisions, and she was compassionate and very sweet. We will always be grateful
for Joan and all she did for us.”
Joloyce O’Malley, 5 West “Joloyce is a very efficient RN. She serves her patients with a smile.
The hospital is very blessed to have her as an employee. She is the definition of a role model.”
Kelsey Aycock, 5 West “What a blessing she is! She always goes over and beyond. She is always
happy and never in a rush. She shows great care for her patients. She has the best, most
understanding heart of anyone I have ever met. She is a young girl fulfilling her dream. I told her
everyday how much I appreciated her and what an excellent job she did!”
Kimberly Silas, 5 West “Kimberly was one of my mother’s caretakers. She is wonderful!!! I
was so glad we had such a fabulous nurse to take care of my mother. She helped us out several
different nights, and was such a joy each time.”
Linda Gargis, Central Scheduling “Linda stayed on the phone with us because we got so lost
in the hospital. She was there for us, even when it wasn’t convenient for her. She helped us so
much! You are a God send, Linda Gargis.”
Lisa Collier, 5 West “Lisa stayed over after working all night to help do an admission and
help out wherever we needed her. She was amazing, and she saved us a lot of work—thank
you!”
Marisa Weaver, 3 West “Marisa was always happy and ready to take care of any of my
wants and needs. She always asked if she could do anything for me. She made me very
comfortable when preparing me for an arteriogram. She has a sweet and loving attitude.
She is an asset to your hospital!”
Mel Payton, 6 West “My daughter has been hospitalized over 2 weeks so far, and Mel has
given her faith and hope to get through this time. She is one of the most caring people I have
ever met. She is a blessing and a delight to know. ECM is so lucky to have her. Thank you,
Mel.”
Melissa Edmunds, PCU “Thank you for taking such good care of my husband. You were a
breathe of fresh air. Your kindness, energy, skills, and compassion will not be forgotten. God
bless you!”
Rick Robertson, Radiology “Rick was so kind to my mom and continually checked on me in
the waiting room. I cannot thank Rick enough for all he did for my family. You mean so much
to us!”
Robin Price, 4 West “Robin was absolutely excellent! I cannot say enough good things about
the care given to me. She really cares for all her patients and makes them feel loved. For that, I
want you know, Robin, that you are loved!”
Sharon Draper, Radiology “My mother has great difficulty with mobility. Sharon was very
patient and understanding as my mother had difficulty with actually getting on the table and
in the correct position. Sharon respected my mother and insured that my mother was as
comfortable as possible.”
Sharlene Holden, Respiratory “Your smiling face, great customer service, compassion,
skills, and kindness were so appreciated during our stay! God bless you, Sharlene.”
Summer Whiteside, 6 West “Summer was very helpful during my stay. When my wife
needed things, she was very prompt in bringing them to her. She was great to both my wife
and I. Thank you, Summer!”
Tyrone Douglas, Housekeeping “He is always smiling and pleasant. He cleans our critical
care waiting room better than any other! He is a positive person, polite, and never irritated.
He tries to make a difference in others’ lives… and he does!”
