Brooke Whitaker is Employee of the Month

Texas County Memorial Hospital has named Brooke Whitaker of Licking the August employee of the month.

Whitaker is a registered nurse in the TCMH emergency department, and she has worked at the hospital since December 2014.  Whitaker was nominated for the award by her supervisor Jeri Sue Crump, emergency department nurse manager.

“Brooke thrives in the ER,” Crump said.  “She moves quickly, she addresses issues in a timely manner, and she provides amazing care to her patients.”

Whitaker is known to pick up extra shifts in the emergency or intensive care departments when needed.  She is also willing to ride with an ambulance to provide a second set of hands for a critical patient.

“Brooke is a ‘go-to’ employee, and her future in healthcare is bright,” Crump said.

As employee of the month, Whitaker received a certificate honoring her achievement; a pin; a special parking place in the TCMH lot; one day of paid vacation; a $50 gift card, and gift certificates to Paws N Claws, D&L Florist; Blissful Nirvana Massage, Wher Motors, and TQ’s BBQ.  A reception will be held at the hospital in honor of Whitaker.

Whitaker is eligible for the 2016 TCMH employee of the year award.
