Employee of the Month for MAY 2012

ROB WYLIE 

 Three Rivers Hospital 

Employee 

of the Month 

for 

MAY 2012

Wylie began his career at Three Rivers Hospital five and half years ago, with a job description that said, “All things deemed necessary.”  With a background in bio-med, Rob builds and services autoclaves and sterilizers, and works in the Maintenance department.  Married with a two year old daughter, Wylie and his family live in Riverside.

Staff members have the opportunity every month to nominate an “Employee of the Month” with an “Employee of the Year” chosen in December.  To show appreciation to the person who initially submits the winning nomination, the Employee Recognition Committee offers a $10 gift certificate for a local business. This month, Wanda Celeone in the business office was the first person who nominated Rob for “Employee of the Month” in May and she won a $10 gift certificate to Sweet River Bakery in Pateros when Rob was chosen. Nomination comments from several employees include

• Rob is always so helpful, nice and he’s a go-getter. 
• Rob is always pleasant, willing to help where needed, upbeat and friendly.  He keeps the air conditioner and heat going in our offices.
• If you need something fixed, you know you can count on Rob to get the job done, right now.  He also has a great attitude. 
• Rob always has a smile on his face and a positive outlook no matter the task.  He is dedicated to Three Rivers Hospital and his fellow workers. 
• He is an asset to the hospital.

When asked why he came to Three Rivers Hospital, Wylie said, “It was a good service-oriented job -- a way to contribute.”  Asked what is best about his job, his comment was, “It’s a good place to work. The people are friendly and it’s a necessary job for the district.  It’s not always a glamorous job, but it’s a good job.”

Employees of the Month are awarded a vest with the Three Rivers Hospital logo, a parking space for the month and their certificate hung on the wall in the hospital’s lobby.  Everyone nominated throughout the year has the opportunity to become the “Employee of the Year 2012”

If you visit Three Rivers Hospital in Brewster during the next few weeks 

and happen to see him keeping our facility in good working order, 

please help us congratulate Rob!
