GOUVERNEUR -- St. Lawrence Health System congratulates Employee of the Quarter Maureen “Reen” Woods, RN, for providing exceptional care to her patients.

Woods joined St. Lawrence Health System’s Gouverneur Hospital in October 2015, and is currently part of the Medical Surgical Pediatrics/Detoxification Teams. She is described as someone who brightens up the hospital with her warmth and cheer, and having a professional and warm demeanor.

“While she provides care for a multitude of patients, Reen has a special affinity for patients experiencing substance use disorders,” said Detox Coordinator/Nursing Supervisor Jason Matice, RN. “Her positive attitude, compassion, and work ethic are notable. She’s always willing to assist her fellow team members, and is attentive to patients and family alike.”

Matice said Woods is a staunch patient advocate, making sure they get the treatment and care they need.

As part of the hospital’s Planetree initiative, its Staff Experience Team established an Employee of the Quarter program this summer to recognize employees who exemplify person-centered care. Employees are nominated by patients and colleagues for their commitment to providing exceptional service to patients and their families. Wood is the first to receive this award at Gouverneur Hospital.

As Employee of the Quarter, Woods received flowers and a gift card, a gift certificate donated by St. Lawrence Health System’s Gouverneur Hospital Auxiliary, and a gift basket.
