Violeta Ortiz, associate evs technician – Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital – Santa Rosa, California
Violetta is a dedicated team member who leads by example providing excellent customer service to our patients, staff, visitors and vendors as well. One of our patient’s family members stopped me in the hallway to ask if I was someone important, I said no ma’am I’m just one of the directors. I asked her if it was anything that I could help with. She stated I just wanted to tell someone about the lady cleaning my family member’s room. She has a great smile and the best customer service ever, the room was cleaned every day, fresh linens were provided on a regular, basis, supplies restocked and trash pulled daily. The lady cleaning the room always said good morning, introduced herself, asked if we needed anything, all while providing service with a smile. I thanked her and said the employee is a great example of Providence Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital’s values. I told her Violetta would receive kudos for positively impacting our patients lives. The family member thanked me and said please make sure she receives some kind of recognition. I said yes ma’am by all means and to answer your question from earlier about someone important, Violetta is one of the most important team members we have. Thank you, Violetta, for easing our patient’s way. ~ Maurice Allen – evs director
