Collins is the assistant dietary department supervisor at TCMH. Collins has worked at the hospital since 1985. She was nominated for the award by April Steele, administrative assistant in the hospital’s administrative office.
“I go to Marlene daily with dietary needs for hospital events,” Steele said, describing Collins as “dedicated” and a “huge asset” to TCMH.
In the TCMH dietary department, Collins works with patients, hospital staff and visitors to the Mayuga Café. Collins also makes arrangements for special events at the hospital as well as regular events like medical staff and board meetings, nurses’ week and national hospital week.
“Marlene anticipates our dietary needs before we even know we need it,” Steele said, adding, “She keeps us on schedule with our events, too.”
As employee of the month, Collins 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 Collins.
Collins is eligible for the 2016 TCMH employee of the year award.
