 <\/p>\n

Employee of the Quarter was Jennifer Scalf, CT Technologist in Imaging Services.

\"Jaropillo\"<\/p>\n

Manager of the Quarter was Erwin Jaropillo, Information Systems. He was recognized for his outstanding work on several recent IT upgrades and programs. \u201cErwin works tirelessly to keep the many computer systems here operational so that we can provide great care to our patients,\u201d Howard said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Volunteer of the Quarter was Tina Stegman and her service dog, Phoenix, who visit patients in the hospital\u2019s geriatric psychiatric unit.<\/p>\n

\"Volunteer\"<\/p>\n

\u201cTina and Phoenix have become a part of our treatment team,\u201d said Sabrina Long, director of the unit. \u201cThe impact of pet therapy on patient mood and recovery is well documented.\u00a0 Phoenix intuitively knows which patients need a little extra time and attention when he visits.\u00a0 He is a gentle giant who helps our senior patients to realistically reminisce and remember happy times. \u00a0The impact on staff attitude and satisfaction is a bonus benefit of having the weekly visits from Tina and Phoenix.\u00a0 The smiles and joy brought by Phoenix and Tina are felt long after they have left the unit for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
