Cody Rogers, of Houston, was named the January employee of the month at Texas County Memorial Hospital.
Rogers is a registered nurse in the emergency department and has been employed at TCMH for about 18 months. He was nominated by his supervisor, Jerri Sue Crump, emergency department director.
“Cody is someone who doesn’t have to be asked to do what’s needed,” Crump said.
She said Rogers does not hesitate to do anything extra when he walks into a patient’s room, and that he approaches patient care in a “calming way,” always ensuring that safety comes first and patients feel comfortable in his care.
“Cody is a rising star in the field that he has chosen,” Crump said, “He has earned respect from the ER staff along with ancillary departments and is continuously looking to grow his knowledge in his profession.”
Rogers first came to TCMH as a Youth Ambassador. He participated in the program during his junior and senior years of high school. Rogers was twice a TCMH Healthcare Foundation Youth Ambassador Scholarship recipient. He was also nominated for a DAISY award during his time at TCMH.
As employee of the month, Rogers received a certificate honoring his 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, Savor Grill and Big Red Car Wash. A reception will be at the hospital in honor of Rogers, who is eligible for the 2018 TCMH employee of the year award.
