In early June, Department of Anesthesiology Chair\u2019s Executive Assistant Kathy Sutton thought little of being pulled aside to discuss with Department leadership some to-dos likely related to the many roles of her position. Little did Kathy know, the meeting served as a means to keep her occupied while co-workers set up a surprise celebration to recognize her 25 years of employment at UNC.<\/p>\n

Mammoth \u201c25\u201d metallic balloons, flowers and a colorful Edible Art Arrangement greeted a smiling, surprised Kathy as co-workers celebrated her many contributions as an almost 10-year Department of Anesthesiology employee. Her first day as Chair\u2019s Assistant in December 2008 came only a month after Dr. Zvara arrived at UNC. Working closely with Kathy through successes and challenges over many years, the Department\u2019s 9-year chair knows that he unquestionably hired \u201cthe right fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Zvara noted: \u201cKathy Sutton is an invaluable part of this Department! She was my first official hire as Chair, and that turned out to be a great, great decision for the Department. Kathy cares about everyone in this Department, and it shows in a hundred different ways, from making sure communications go out, schedules are coordinated and faculty meetings are nutritional events! I can\u2019t imagine this program without her.”<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s 25 years includes working in five other UNC units prior to Anesthesiology \u2013 Office of Medical Education; Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs; Arts & Sciences Foundation; Department of Classics; Department of Epidemiology \u2013 that reflect on her valued service within the University community. We celebrate all that you have brought to UNC, the Department of Anesthesiology and the University. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
