Medical Assistant Serena Tobias honored with Gardener Award
In 2022, Goshen Health created the Gardener Award to recognize the contributions of Colleagues in helping the organization fulfill its mission of providing innovative and outstanding care and services through exceptional people doing exceptional work.
Goshen Health’s second winner of the Gardener Award is Serena Tobias, Certified Medical Assistant at Goshen Physicians Family Medicine Pro Park. Tobias was nominated by Wanda Taylor, a patient who wrote, “She is always upbeat. She takes time to listen to my problems. She tells me to take care of myself so I can help those in my family who need me. She is concerned when my blood pressure is too high and tells me to exercise more and eat better…. She makes sure when she needs to take my blood for lab work that she uses a butterfly since it’s sometimes hard to find a vein…. She is as great at her job as the doctor is. I am so glad I found them many years ago.”
“Thank you to all of you for delivering exceptional care, for your commitment to health care. Thank you for bringing the skill set – and your talent, compassion and kindness to what you do every day,” said Erica Prough, Goshen Health Director Education Professional Practice in addressing the Colleagues gathered to honor Tobias.
In addition to recognizing positive attitudes and professionalism, nominees for the Gardener Award support Goshen Health nurses, providers and staff by providing a timely response to their needs; working well with the healthcare team; and consistently demonstrating compassion, accountability, respect and excellence – the values of the organization.
