CEO ADDRESS W e are now one month into 2018, and I could not
be more proud of the hard work each of you have put into this year so far. We have started off the year strong with great volumes in many areas, including ED visits and surgeries. Looking forward, our team is focused on service line growth and building on our exceptional quality and safety. We have developed strategic plans to continue growing our volumes and ensure we remain highly competitive in our community. It will take a team effort for us to reach new heights in 2018, and I am excited to see the work we will achieve together. In this issue of The North Pinellas Heartbeat, you will see some growth highlights from 2017. We also celebrate three very important employees who were awarded “Employee of the Year� for 2017, as well as cover some recent and upcoming hospital events.

Yuli has been a gift to our department since the day she started. She has an enormous amount of energy that she brings and a positive attitude that is contagious to other team members. She was able to grasp a new scanner with ease because of her willingness to learn. Yulis is ready to work the second she steps in the door. She is willing to tackle any obstacle she comes across during the day is very confident in her abilities. Her patient care skills are second to none. Every patient that she treats leaves a lasting impression for the imaging department. All her work and efforts are much appreciated.

Gary Randolph Food Service
Gary retired from the US Navy as a Culinary Specialist with 20 years of service protecting our freedom. Gary loves what he does, and even after retiring from the Navy, he showed back up to duty on his ship and worked for a week for free. Gary is our Production Supervisor. Our team has the ultimate respect for him, better known as the singing chef. Regardless of his work load, if a question or problem arises, Gary takes the time to handle it. True ownership shows in his work ethic. If you ask Gary to go to the moon, he would figure out a way to go for you, that’s just Gary. Often, last minute caterings pop up and Gary takes the ball and runs with it. Gary says he gets his strength from the good lord and he is a walking example to each one of us in food service. On a recent Bingo night, Gary was on Vacation, and almost every Senior we served asked where the singing chef was. He is one in a million, and does all he does out of his love for helping others, and is so humble.
