Woodhall is ALMH October Employee of the Month
Abraham Lincoln
Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce Holly Woodhall as October
Employee of the Month. Woodhall has worked in the Pharmacy at ALMH
for 23 years, and she volunteered at the hospital while in high
school. She also worked for the state for 27 years before retiring
in 2002.
Her shifts at ALMH are
spent filling prescriptions and performing clinical evaluations. But
Woodhall says there are always unique challenges presented by nurses
and physicians.
"I've never been
disappointed in my career choice," says Woodhall, who graduated from
Ferris State University in Michigan in 1975. "I like the people in
my department and throughout the hospital."
Her nominator, John
Strader, RN (Same Day Care and Infusion Clinic), says Woodhall is
friendly and always has medications ready quickly.
"That is important to
us because our patients usually come in from work on their busy
schedules," Strader says. "She is also very prompt in getting the
medications to me with chemo - sometimes before I'm ready. The
patients get a kick out of that and tease me about it."
ALMH employs more than
290 individuals 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.
