Marketing: Rachel HodgeI so appreciate and value your dedication, talent, reliability, teamwork, and commitment to excellence. You gave up a week with your family to be in Covington to help market and then came back to your team in Warner Robins and continue to shine. You got into two brand new distribution centers no other marketer has been able to get into. Then, you still ask what can I do? You are such an asset to our UOG family. Congratulations!

She is always a team player and does whatever we ask of her. The company is more successful because of Jennifer and I am very grateful for her.
Ultrasound Techs: Anna MettendorfAnna has gone above and beyond for The Howard Center this month. Everyday she has helped cover the front, diet, completed surgery packets and worked up patients.

She juggles many different job responsibilities and we are so thankful for all she does for us.
OB MA’s: Laura WeeksLaura has shown a true definition of a team player this month. She has done whatever she can to make our departments run smoother.

Women’s Center for Advanced Surgery
$250 and a Trophy!
Tracey Carter, PCT is the WCAS Employee of the Month. Tracey’s hard work and dedication to our Surgical Center helps ensure that our patients receive great care with a special personal touch. She exhibits great communication skills with our patients as well as their families, and she is usually on a first-name basis with them. Her sense of humor often helps our patients relieve pre-op jitters through laughter. And they know who Tracey is because she always greets them with a smile and by saying “My name is Tracey and I’m going to help take care of you today.” As one patient recently wrote, “You need more staff like Tracey.” We are truly blessed to have her as part of our WCAS TEAM. Thank YOU Tracey!
