Before and after every surgery case, Operating Room Assistant Jose Fernandes can be spotted cleaning the Operating Room or transporting patients to and from surgery. In between cases, he often asks, “What else can I do to help?”
For this dedication and commitment, Fernandes received one of seven OR Assistant Outstanding Recognition Awards handed out by the department during a breakfast last month. In its second year, the awards program honors OR assistants who are role models and team players.
This year’s recipients include Daniel Duncan, Edmond Foreman, Milagros Milan, Carmen Mata, Jean Dyer and Eloy Ortega, who also received the award last year. Recognized for perfect attendance were Jinell Pa terson, Evelyn Fergus and Marie St. Jean.
“I’m so proud of each recipient and our team,” said Toni Kimble-Brooks, OR assistant supervisor. “They represent the many faces in our department that continue to go the extra mile, anticipate what needs to be done and do it before they are even asked.”
