Joceline, a housekeeping aide with Environmental Services, was named Colleague of the Month in November 2023 for her commitment to colleagues, patients, and the Trinity Health Of New England Mission. 

In her nomination, Joceline’s manager wrote that she “is a treasured member of our EVS family and we all feel she embodies our Mission and Core Values.” It was noted that she takes great pride and ownership of her duties and receives nothing but accolades from patients and colleagues. Joceline, who was also named EVS Employee of the Month in October 2023, was chosen to represent the department and health ministry for a patient experience video project with Mission Integration.

Joceline’s nomination also highlighted a meaningful patient interaction story. Joceline took the time to assure a worried patient, conveying that they were receiving the best care and would be okay. Her manager wrote that Joceline’s “beautiful gesture to provide compassion made such an impact on the patient, that when that patient discovered Joceline’s birthday was coming up, they surprised her with an amazing birthday card.” In closing, Joceline’s manager said, “we are so proud of her and fortunate she has chosen to work with us!”

Congratulations, Joceline!
