Congratulations to Margo Johnson, our October Employee of the Month! Margo is our Auxiliary Council President and received this heartfelt nomination:
"Margo has been a steadfast volunteer at BGH for almost 30 years. Always there when you need her and leading the team of volunteers in many activities and fundraisers. She has put together a great team of volunteers and is constantly looking to the future and new volunteers. She is tireless. The following story is recent sample of her dedication to patient care and our BGH Values.
On Monday, Oct 6 while volunteering at the Lobby Desk Margo noticed a woman reaching for the wall with each step while walking towards the lobby. Margo went to her aid and the woman, Emily, told her she needed cataract surgery but could see well enough with her glasses, which she had mislaid. She said she had an appointment at MRI. Margo, taking her arm, helped her down to MRI.
Once at MRI, the woman realized she was at the wrong building and needed to go to the HSB. Margo assisted her to the HSB and along the way the woman found her glasses in the bottom of her purse. She said she was alright and could make it inside. However, Margo insisted on taking her into the building and to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, she told Margo she wanted to make a donation to BGH because she never before had such caring attention. Margo told her she appreciated the comments and talked to her about becoming a volunteer and asked her to apply. They hugged and she assured Margo she would take the SPOT bus home and was going to be alright.
Thank you, Margo and congratulations on your well-deserved recognition."
