Massena Memorial Hospital names 'Employee of the Quarter'

Posted

MASSENA -- Kerrie French, licensed Physical Therapy Assistant, has been selected as the Employee of the Quarter at Massena Memorial Hospital.

Charles F. Fahd, II, Massena Memorial Hospital Chief Executive Officer, said French was nominated from her peers, supervisor and division head for this honor.

In her nomination, it states, Kerrie is an asset to MMH and the Physical Therapy Department as a whole. She treats both inpatients and outpatients, and tries to get to know each and every one of them. She enjoys genealogy, and can often be heard speaking with patients about their great grandmother’s second cousin’s ex-husbands brother being related to someone in Kerrie’s family.

Kerrie likes challenges and likes to be involved in other activities throughout the hospital. Fahd said the hospital can count on her to work in a health fair, make up an informational flyer for a service program for her patients. She also gets involved in committees such as the employee satisfaction committee.

He added, she has a lot of ideas for improvement in the department, some of which are feasible, and some may not, but is always trying to better things for everyone. It is not unusual to come into the department and see Kerrie cleaning/re-organizing if she does not have a patient at that moment.

Fahd said, “All in all, Kerrie is a solid employee, and very deserving of the Employee of the Quarter. She exemplifies the hospital mission to provide quality care. She truly cares about the patients and is compassionate and friendly. And she is always looking for ways to improve."

As the Massena Memorial Hospital Employee of the Quarter, French receives an engraved picture frame, a Massena Memorial Hospital fleece embroidered blanket, a special designated parking spot in front of the hospital, with a special Employee of the Quarter Key ring and a special donation from the Massena Memorial Hospital Auxiliary of a Gift Shop Gift Certificate.
