Cheers to Kayla Burgess, Unit Extender in the Intermediate Care Unit, for her selection as Mercy Medical Center's Colleague of the Month for June.

Kayla Burgess, Mercy's Colleague of the Month for June. 

The selection for this honor is based on the nominations of colleagues who recognized Kayla for consistently "exceeding expectations, demonstrating excellence in job performance, and delivering exceptional service."

Although Kayla has only been a member of the Mercy team for a little over a year, colleagues have not only come to depend on her, but they also appreciate her efforts to support them. In several nomination forms, Kayla was recognized for her kind and gentle manner with patients, as well as her willingness to help other colleagues. One colleague wrote that Kayla helps with patients, retrieves lab results, keeps supplies stocked, answers call bells, and “anything else we ask her to do” – and she does it all “with a pleasant attitude and a smile on her face.” Another colleague noted that Kayla “makes a huge difference for everyone on the team. It is really inspiring to work with her.”
