Employee Profile
The success of every organization depends on its people. Whether they're at the bedside or playing a critical support role, our employees make us who we are. From small gestures--such as friendly words, a smile and holding a hand-our employee's are heroes to our patients and their families. We'd like to tell you about one of our heroes. Congratulations, PMC Employee of the Quarter! Anne Marie Orlando started as an intern in the Cardiac Rehab as part of her BS degree in Health Services in January of 2001. In March of 2001 she was offered an ECG tech position, which was a difficult decision because of the good tips she made at waitressing! Anne Marie finally took a chance and accepted the position and proved to be a fast learner. She moved onto the Cath Lab from Cardiology in November of 2001. In 2002 she studied and sat for the RCIS and passed. In 2003 she went back to college for her RN, which she received her RN license in 2004. Anne Marie is a great patient advocate and demonstrates compassion for her patients. She is liked and respected by both her peers and physicians. Her department is so happy and proud that she is honored as the "Employee of the Quarter" It is a well deserved award.
