Area hospital workers named ‘Health Care Heroes’
Published: March 20, 2005
Ten health care employees from six area hospitals were recently named “Health Care Heroes” by the Alabama Hospital Association Southwest Council at a luncheon held in Mobile.
Recognized at the program for outstanding service to Alabama’s hospital patients were:
Andy Baranski, medical technologist at the University of South Alabama Children’s and Women’s Hospital; Sister Mary Elizabeth Cullen, vice president of Mission Services at Providence Hospital; Pat Drew, nurse manager at Springhill Medical Center;
Also, Norma E. Eubanks, social worker at North Baldwin Infirmary; Jennifer Jackson, licensed practical nurse at Evergreen Medical Center; Elizabeth Naman, nurse manager at Springhill Medical Center; Sandra Pickens, Education Department secretary at USA Children’s and Women’s Hospital;
Also, Dr. Mark A. Roberts, family practitioner at Evergreen Medical Center; Phyllis F. Tate, director of clinical education and diabetes at Thomas Hospital; and Paul J. Tomlinson, assistant manager of the intensive care unit at Springhill Medical Center.
“These are men and women who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in serving their patients,” said Stan Hammack, chairman of the Alabama Hospital Association. “They represent well the mission of hospitals to heal and provide comfort, and we are pleased to be able to honor them.”
The Alabama Hospital Association Southwest Council’s “Health Care Heroes” contest was one of seven regional contests held throughout the state. The regional winners will also compete in a statewide “Health Care Heroes” contest, where seven people, one winner from each region, will be chosen as Alabama’s Health Care Heroes and honored at a special event in Montgomery in May.
The regional and state “Health Care Heroes” contest is sponsored by the Alabama Hospital Association, along with the association’s seven regional hospital councils, in an effort to highlight the people who work in health care and to encourage others to consider a career in this field.
The Alabama Hospital Association is a trade organization located in Montgomery whose mission is to support hospitals in their efforts to provide quality health care to Alabama’s citizens.
