RFGH is pleased to announce our newest CARES Award recipient, Brenda Royal!
The RFGH CARES Award is presented to an RFGH employee who exemplifies our Core Values and goes beyond their daily job duties. The RFGH CARES Award recipient is dedicated to a cooperative work culture, exhibits the highest level of personal and professional responsibility, is committed to the continuous demonstration of trust, understanding, honesty, and excellence, and provides dependable and professional care.
Brenda works in Materials Management and has been an RFGH employee for 9 years.
Brenda’s nomination detailed an interaction she had with an individual who she noticed did not look well. She learned that the person had an existing health condition that was causing them to feel unwell. Brenda acted quickly and grabbed a nurse from a nearby department to help assist this person. The individual was assessed and determined to need further care, and was brought down to the Emergency Department. The staff members who assisted this individual and witnessed the interaction shared that without Brenda’s awareness and intervention, the outcome could have been much different.
Brenda is described by her peers as someone who is consistently dependable and hardworking. She truly cares about both her work and the people around her. She approaches every day with a genuine willingness to help other employees, patients, and visitors. Diligent and efficient, she routinely goes above and beyond her duties to ensure supplies and needs are met promptly, even in urgent situations, and always takes the time to explain ordering processes clearly. Brenda’s sense of humor and readiness to take on extra responsibilities, including special CARES Committee projects and employee recognition efforts, make her an invaluable team player who makes everyone she encounters feel supported and valued.
Brenda’s nomination exemplifies her commitment to collaboration, accountability, excellence and service at RFGH.
