Jay Glover of Cabool was recently named Texas County Memorial Hospital’s April employee of the month.
Glover is a physical therapy assistant in the physical therapy department at TCMH. He has worked nine years at the hospital.
It’s the second time Glover has been named employee of the month at TCMH. He previously won the award in July 2008.
“Jay is a person who enjoys what he does, and he encourages his patients to do their best,” said Kristi Atkins, medical surgical supervisor. “The nursing staff also enjoys working with Jay.”
Atkins said Glover is “willing to help do anything.” He is known for assisting nursing staff when needed.
“Jay promotes a sense of trust with the patients by maintaining their privacy and dignity,” Atkins said. “He always reassures patients that they will be well cared for at TCMH.”
As employee of the month, Glover received a certificate honoring his achievement; a pin; $100 cash; a special parking place in the TCMH lot; one day of paid vacation; a $50 gift card; gift certificates to Paws N Claws, D&L Florist and Janstiques; and CD of the month from KUNQ.
A reception will be at the hospital in honor of Glover, who is eligible for the 2013 TCMH employee of the year award.
