Others First Award 2022
The Others-First Award applauds a worker who always puts patients and other co-workers before themselves. They’re willing to go the extra mile to make sure a customer is happy, and colleagues feel supported. They make sacrifices often, sometimes without many people knowing, because they believe in what they’re doing and how they’re helping.
Another way to conceptualize this Others-First Award is in terms of exemplary humanitarian service. For example, someone who really cares about helping those in need. Perhaps they even advocated for the creation of a company-wide giving program or a volunteer-time-off initiative. They give the workplace added purpose.
We are very proud to present the Others First Award to Laura Gallagher who works at Alliance and Decatur in Marketing.
Laura is an excellent ambassador for Monticello because she puts others first. She is a tireless advocate for her referring providers and for their patients; they feel as if Laura is a part of their team, putting their concerns at the top of her list. They trust Laura to put them first and get their issue resolved and she consistently follows through for them.
Congratulations, Laura! You bring a lot of pride to Monticello through your selfless acts of kindness and compassion, and you are very deserving of this award.
