Earlier this week, members of our Loring Hospital team had the fun opportunity of talking to Newell-Fonda students about many of the key areas that keep our hospital running smoothly and efficiently, as well as the variety of careers that are available in healthcare. Thanks to each of you for spending your morning with us – we had a blast!

🌟Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Andrea Cottingham, MSN, RN, who leads Loring Hospital’s infection prevention, employee health, patient safety, and volunteer coordinator programs.🌟

A portion of the nomination submission read:
“Andrea, along with other members of the environmental rounding team, have continued to meet and exceed the standards to ensure Loring Hospital’s compliance with state and federal regulation. This was proven by a recent survey in which Loring Hospital, thanks in great part to Andrea’s due diligence, had zero deficiencies.

With the Board’s recent approval of the online version of the new safety data sheet system, Andrea has been working diligently in getting these moved over to the new system and getting them aligned with the proper departments. Andrea has faced this task head on and is continuing to do great work in this area.

As a member of the Engagement Committee, Andrea has helped and continues to assist the senior leadership team in the implementation of Loring Hospital’s new values through the star program and with monthly events that tie into those values.”

Thanks, Andrea, for all you do for our patients, their families, and our staff. We are so fortunate to have you as a member of the Loring Hospital family!
