 Abraham
Lincoln Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce Sherrie Carlin as
September Employee of the Month.Carlin has worked in the
Laboratory Department for 2 years. Before coming to ALMH, she worked
with the American Red Cross as a phlebotomist and achieved
certification.
Carlin's job consists of making rounds on Med/Surg and ICU for
blood draws, collecting stat draws for OB, and doing other draws in
the Lab. One of her favorite parts of her job is when a patient
comes in whose veins are difficult to find and stick. She likes the
challenge and the rewarding feeling of making a good stick on a
difficult draw.
One of the things that sets Carlin apart in her job is her daily
schedule. She begins her workday at 4 a.m., and her first
responsibility is to make all lab draws necessary for inpatients.
She said one of her greatest achievements is surviving her 4 a.m.
rounds.
"Sherrie always has a pleasant smile and personality," said
Carlin's nominator. "Her ‘GREAT' customer service helps patients
during times that may not be so good for them personally. It is
clear to patients, as well as her co-workers, that she is very
dedicated to her work and to ALMH."
ALMH employs more than 290 in a wide variety of job functions. A
different employee is honored each month for their commitment to
creating GREAT patient experiences, getting GREAT results, and
making ALMH a GREAT place to work.
