Jay Hoffman, Home Care Biller, Support Center

I am nominating Jay for his excellent commitment to service. I have had the pleasure of working with several people in the Reimbursement Department at the Support Center and everyone has been very good at their jobs. Last year, I was told very unexpectedly that the Reimbursement Department was changing employee assignments and Jay was assigned to my Branch. From the starting gate, Jay was on top of things and proved to be very efficient. He is very courteous and prompt and takes responsibility for his job and has gone above and beyond at times to assist me with problems. I owe him some chocolate. Thank you Jay for all the support you give our Branch.

Christina Dominguez, Home Care Aide, Quincy, IL/Home & Community Svcs

Paraphrasing the mailman’s motto, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night keeps Christina Dominguez from taking care of her clients." This past winter Quincy had a major blizzard. One of Christina’s clients was a high risk client that had suffered a
stroke with limited mobility. The client’s family does not live nearby. It was decided that an HCA be sent to the home after contacting the CCU. Christina stepped right up and said yes. She packed a bag and went to stay with the client. It turned out to be 3 days. 22 inches of snow fell on Quincy during that storm. Christina took great care of the
client and communicated to the family all was secure. Christina went to great lengths to assure the safety of her client. Thank you Christina for your compassion and noble deeds and being a shining representative of Addus HealthCare.

Chris DuBoise, RN, Chicago South, IL/Home Health

Chris had personal transportation problems that included her car being towed away, retrieved, and then stolen while attending church on Sunday. During this period of incredible bad luck, Chris never missed seeing her assigned patients. Chris persevered and managed to take public transportation riding the bus to all her visits. This continued
for 6 months until she was able to get new transportation. Chris managed seeing 4 to 5 patients a day and turned in her documentation in a timely fashion. Bravo!

Lavon Watsun, RN, Portland, OR/Home Health

It is with great pleasure that I nominate Lavon for National Employee of the Month.  Every Home Health Agency Director should be so lucky to have such a dedicated nurse on their team. Lavon always has a great attitude, is positive and has a infectious smile on her face. She is the ultimate professional and always flexible with her schedule when we need to see patients. Thank you Lavon for your dedication and hard work.
