Champion of the Month - August 2008

August Champion of the MonthMarilynn McGrory, LPN
Marian Estates, Reece Healthcare Center

Marilyn is an advocate for resident’s rights. She is always willing to listen to the residents as well as resident’s family members and her fellow staff members. She always wants to know if there are any concerns and what she can do to alleviate them. Marilyn is reliable and always goes above and beyond. She is willing to work any floor or shift when it is needed. She handles stressful situations, always remaining calm. She is professional at all times, knows her job and does it well! One CNA commented “Marilyn is far and away the best nurse I have ever worked under. If I could ever choose to work with or under anyone she would be the only nurse I would choose. She is not only the best nurse, but a fantastic person.”

OHCA recognizes Marilyn for her contributions to enhancing the quality of life for residents, family members, the community, and to the working environment for staff and co-workers. Thank you for going the extra mile to ensure the well-being of residents and your co-workers and for your commitment to the long-term care profession.
