“Gigi comes to work every day with a positive outlook, an appreciation for her job, and an eagerness to exceed the expectation of not only our patients, but our café customers and her fellow colleagues,” read Gigi’s nomination. “She takes great pride in the way in which she represents her department. She is precise in her work process, and she acts as a role model by assisting others in doing the same.”
