Make a Gift

Staff: Tamia Herbin (nominated by Elizabeth Aguero & James Williams): “Tamia went above and beyond in her willingness to assist and desire to learn new things.  She has volunteered to help whenever needed, always with a smile on her face. A representative from the manufacturer of the new syringe pumps was visiting for a few days. Unfortunately, everyone from the clinical team was post-call or assigned elsewhere for a few days. Very graciously, Ms. Herbin became the host. The guest said they rarely if ever get such nice treatment when she travels to other medical centers.”
Tech:  Yue Chen (nominated by Monika Nanda): “I asked Yue if we should stock a specific kind of ultrasound probe cover for blocks and we should try using them at the ACC in the future  Yue came early this morning just to pick up the probe covers from the main and drop them off at the ACC.  His shift did not start for another 3 hours.  He wanted to make sure that we had them for all the blocks that we did today! Yue, thank you so much for your commitment to the team and patient care.  We are so lucky to have you here!”

CRNA: Bradley Farrell (nominated by Monika Nanda): “Brad has such a positive and helpful attitude. I saw Brad place IVs for so many patients on GI Main that were not even in his room. He is ever ready to help out his colleagues and keep things moving. Thank you Brad for your selfless acts today to keep things moving here.”

Nurse: “Meredith Woodson (nominated by Jeremy Armbruster): “Meredith went above and beyond to find research on the benefits of ultrasound probe covers and has been pushing for their use in all ultrasound-guided procedures to help minimize infection risk”.


Resident
: Dr. Kevin Welch (nominated by Christina Okolo): “Dr. Welch went above and beyond to help our new intern class orient to UNC. On the first day of orientation he met us in the parking garage to walk us over to Bondurant, and he made sure to take us back too! He has been extremely kind to make sure that the 13 of us do not get lost in a new hospital. I am not sure how we would have made it through orientation week without him!”
Faculty: Adam Suchar (nominated by Lavinia Kolarczyk): “Adam graciously offers his pediatric expertise to his adult colleagues when we are faced with challenging clinical situations. He does so with kindness and without judgment. He exemplifies teamwork in every sense of the word. Thank you, Adam, for your assistance with a difficult Down’s Syndrome patient with congenital heart disease. You are a star! Our department is truly a better place because of Adam’s outstanding clinical pediatric skills and his willingness to go above and beyond to help anyone who asks.”
