Lucy Delgado has been named our Exemplary Employee for the month of August. The award recognizes outstanding employees who demonstrate their commitment to patients, family and co-workers through acts of caring, compassion and excellent customer service.
Delgado joined our hospital in March 2008. She is a Staffing Coordinator in our Nursing Administration office. She was nominated by two co-workers who had this to say:
“Lucy consistently demonstrates outstanding dedication, professionalism, and a positive attitude in the workplace. She is always willing to assist anyone who seeks her help, whether by providing direction, guiding them to the appropriate person or resource, or taking the initiative to address the need herself whenever possible. She is dependable, approachable, and committed to ensuring that others receive the support they need.
She takes her role seriously and consistently maintains professional behavior in all interactions. Staff frequently turn to her for direction and guidance because of her strong work ethic, helpful nature, and willingness to find answers. Even when she does not immediately know the solution, she takes the initiative to seek the correct information and follow through. Her positive presence, commitment to service, and reliable support make her highly deserving of exemplary recognition.”
Another co-worker wrote the following:
“It is with great appreciation that we recognize Lucy Delgado for her unwavering dedication, exceptional service, and commitment to supporting our team. For 18 years, she has been a constant source of reliability, knowledge, and support through numerous organizational changes, leadership transitions, and evolving department needs.
She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that our nursing leaders and staff have the resources and assistance they need to provide excellent patient care. Whether she is diligently reviewing and correcting timecards to ensure accuracy and timeliness, coordinating and ordering essential supplies, or assisting with countless day-to-day operational needs, she approaches every task with professionalism, efficiency, and a positive attitude.
What truly sets her apart is her willingness to help others. She is the person many turn for answers, guidance, and support. She works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep operations running smoothly, often anticipating needs before they arise and ensuring that challenges are addressed quickly and effectively.
We want to thank Lucy for her outstanding contributions, years of loyal service, and the countless ways she supports our department every day. Her hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all that she does. She is an invaluable part of our team, and this recognition is well deserved.”
