This week our associate spotlight shines on Esther Murphy, EVS and Dietary Aide and patient sitter
From Jones Memorial Hospital,
“Working with Esther in various capacities over the past 8 years has been a pleasure; she is a dedicated team member to her peers & is very patient centered. Although Esther’s primary position is environmental services, she also assists in the food & nutrition department & then during her spare time she assists as a patient sitter when the need arises. Esther’s dedication to Jones Memorial Hospital shines through daily with her patient, peer & visitor interactions. Many associates throughout the organization have reaped the benefits of her favorite hobby – Baking. Whether a special department event, an Auxiliary bake sale or a just because batch of cookies, Esther’s commitment to patients & peers shine through. Thank you, Esther!”
