“Christie manages her own schedule independently and cost effectively,” Willis said, adding, “She is a valuable asset to TCMH.”
As employee of the month, Koch 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 Twirlee Q. A reception will be held at the hospital in honor of Koch.
Koch is eligible for the 2016 TCMH employee of the year award.
