“Abby is an incredible example of compassion, professionalism, and teamwork,” her nomination states. “As the first face our patients see when they walk through the door, she sets the tone for their entire experience. Abby greets everyone with genuine kindness and patience, creating a welcoming environment even on the busiest of days. She consistently goes above and beyond to help both patients and coworkers. Recently, when a patient came in upset and yelling, Abby handled the situation with calm understanding and empathy — quickly turning a difficult moment into a positive one. Her ability to stay composed and caring under pressure shows just how deeply she values the people we serve. Abby is also a true team player, always willing to step in and help wherever she’s needed. Her positive attitude lifts the entire department and reminds us what it means to lead with kindness. She is truly deserving of Employee of the Month.”
