Lackey Memorial Hospital MVP Spotlight ⭐🏆
Please join us in celebrating Lupita Arizmendi, Tech/Scribe in Community Health Clinic, on her nomination for a Lackey Memorial Hospital MVP Award!
Lupita is known for going above and beyond for our patients every single day, consistently showing compassion, professionalism, and a true heart for service.
Lupita was recently nominated by a visiting surgeon in our outpatient specialty clinic who called on her for assistance with translating. The surgeon shared that Lupita went above and beyond in helping both her and the patient, ensuring clear communication and comfort throughout the visit.
Lupita is just one example of our employees who help bridge the gap when communication becomes difficult. Our employees are what set us apart from others in healthcare. Thank you, Lupita, for all that you do every day and for being a true example of the Lackey way. 💙
