Mary Barnes, of Houston, was the July employee of the month at Texas County Memorial Hospital.
Barnes is the case manager at TCMH. She has worked in that position since July 2011.
Barnes was nominated for the award by her supervisor, Amanda Turpin, quality management director.
“Mary is a professional in her interactions with co-workers and physicians, and she demonstrates excellent customer service to our patients and visitors,” Turpin said.
Turpin said Barnes recently volunteered to take on additional responsibilities due to a vacant position at TCMH.
“Mary is a true team player and real asset to TCMH,” Turpin said. “Mary was born to be a caregiver. Whether it’s a patient or an employee, Mary is always willing to step in and help those around her.”
As employee of the month Barnes received a certificate honoring her achievement; a pin; a special parking place in the TCMH lot; one day of paid vacation; a $50 gift card; and gift certificates to Paws N Claws, D&L Florist; Blissful Nirvana Massage, Wehr Motors and Savor Grill.
A reception will be at the Texas County Memorial Hospital in honor of Barnes, who is eligible for the 2017 TCMH employee of the year award.
