Several Madison County Hospital (MCH) employees were recently honored at the annual Employee Recognition Dinner held at the Brennan Loft in downtown London.  The evening celebrated service milestones and the 2012 "Employee of the Month" recipients.

The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the 2012 "Employee of the Year", who is chosen from among the "Employee of the Month" recipients.  This year, the honor went to Ruth Roddy, a registered nurse for the Prenatal Clinic and the Patient Navigator for the Breast Care Center.  Ruth's award nomination form read, "Ruth wears many hats at MCH and wears each of them well.  She works tirelessly to ensure all responsibilities are met.  She has been graciously giving extra time to the UR department during this time that help has been needed, all the while still helping patients as the Breast Care Specialist and continuing to manage the Prental Clinic and work on the grant for the clinic.  Her care and concern for patients in all areas of the hospital is truly admirable and evident in each of her roles.  She goes above and beyond and is always available to answer questions, coordinate care and be a support."

“Employee of the Month” recipients were: James Bowden, Jennifer Clarke, Tom Good, Susan Harris, Jessica Johnson, Jerri Johnston, Cathy Pooni, Ruth Roddy, Lorna Sanders, Courtney Stone, Jennifer Wayman and Megan Wilson.
