Congratulations Employee Health clinician Kim Summers, McLaren Flint's May Outstanding Employee of the Month. Kim lives by the motto printed on a plaque hanging behind her desk that says, "Always be kinder than you feel." If you have visited employee health, one thing is certain, Kim will remember your name and face. That is just one of the reasons colleagues say Kim is a vital member of the team.
"Kim takes time to get to know a bit about the people she meets, and forges relationships," said one of her nominators. "She is a very efficient worker and has a brilliant, problem-solving mind. Her 30-plus years of experience are a true asset to employee health. Not one day goes by that I don't appreciate her for being here with me."
McLaren Flint managers, directors, and executive leadership nominate Outstanding Employee of the Month candidates. Award criteria are the hospital's mission and core values: contribution to culture and core values, teamwork, going the extra mile, outstanding patient service, performance excellence, and commitment.
