Joya’s nomination states, “Joya is great at her job in Wound Care; however, she is amazing for other units also. Joya’s performance for cardiopulmonary in the Sleep Lab is excellent. She consistently takes on more work and is always wanting to learn and do more. She never hesitates to learn how to do sleep authorizations, and when asked to learn how to do the sleep lab registrations, she gladly said yes. Knowing that Joya is here to help in any capacity at any time is refreshing and it makes our day just a bit less chaotic and for that we are thankful. It is employees like Joya that made EGRMC a great place to work and makes our job just that much better.”
