Catawba Valley Medical Center Recognizes July 2011 CARE Employee
HICKORY, NC – Catawba Valley Medical Center recognized Tiffany Osborne
RN, of the Surgical Department, as the July CARE employee. A patient nominated Tiffany.
Following are remarks offered in nominating Tiffany: “She is an awesome
nurse! By definition, anyone expects a nurse to take care of our basic
medical needs. Most would expect some level of tenderness and caring.
When my mother and I encountered Tiffany, she was far more. From my Mom’s
first night in the hospital to the last night she worked with us, she
gave 100% and came into our room with the same smile and energy level.
Nursing is her gift.”
Catawba Valley Medical Center’s CARE employee, nominated monthly
by employees and guests, embodies Courtesy, Attitude, Respect and Enthusiasm
for commitment to maintaining a positive guest relations atmosphere while
demonstrating a sincere compassion and concern for patients and fellow
