[September 16, 2011]  Carolyn Marten was honored in September as Employee of the Month at Abraham Lincoln because she treats patients, visitors and staff with kindness and concern -- always smiling and offering a warm welcome.

"Carolyn does an excellent job of multitasking in order to meet the demands of her job," explains her nominator, co-worker Brenda Miller. "In a busy office like ours, she can juggle phone calls, the computer, the fax machine, patients and staff, all while making everyone feel important. She has a way of making things 'flow' effortlessly."

Miller added that Marten is patient, kind, friendly, funny, hardworking and resourceful. "She makes my job easier by being a huge source of knowledge," her nominator said.

Marten is an administrative assistant in rehabilitation services. She started her career at ALMH in 1998 after operating a home day care for 20 years. She graduated from Atlanta High School in 1967 and worked at FS (Growmark FS) in Bloomington right out of school.

Her position at ALMH requires a great deal of computer knowledge and customer service. She describes her day-to-day job as "very hectic; never a dull moment." She schedules and checks in patients in the bustling rehab department. "Days go by very fast," she says. "There are lots of great people to meet."

She likes working at ALMH because of the friendly people in all the departments who make each other feel like family.

"It is a great feeling to know you are able to help another person, even if the job is as small as changing an appointment time," she says. "Smile as much as you can. When you smile, everyone smiles with you."
