A lot of times these transitions, while super exciting, can also be super chaotic and so we lose track of time.

Kristi Stark, Central Region

"Where do I even begin to describe how GREAT Kristi is?!?!  She embodies all of the elements of the GREAT momentum.  She is constantly looking in ways she can mentor and help others with their GROWTH potential.  She RECOGNIZES those that work for and around her on the daily.  She is ENGAGED in all the activities we have going on at Parallon and does her utmost to make them better by contributing ideas and solutions to existing issues.  APPRECIATION goes hand in hand with recognition.  We she recognizes people, she is also expressing her APPRECIATION for them.  And finally TEAMWORK - my best example of that is in regards to all the Workforce 2.0 activities going on.  There was a webex call that was double booked for both clients and the OAs, and she stepped in immediately to help coordinate the webex for the OAs so we were able to quickly move that audience over to the new presentation.  Without her quick action, we would have had 30+ individuals miss a very important presentation for WF 2.0.  I can't speak Kristi's accolades enough!!"

Brian KellmanIT&S

"Brian, like many of your other support personnel, has gone above the call.
He doesn’t have to be reminded about anything; he not only thinks about what I will need today, but what I will need in the future, and delivers all to me at my convenience. Despite my request probably being mundane to him, he demonstrated much patience and care. Here’s a perfect example as to how your personnel makes us all better at what we do and more productive doing it. By 'teaching us how to fish', it makes us more independent, liberates your/our resources, and helps us deliver the right solutions to our internal and external clients.

Brian literally made me feel like I was his only customer.

I would be remiss if I didn’t pay him this well-deserved compliment and fact."

with Erin, I find her to be bright and bubbly and always willing to help.  On
a recent interaction, I contacted her for information needed to coordinate an

running with it.  The intent was not for her to do anything other than answer
a few questions, but in true Erin form, she said it was HER PLEASURE to help.
One of the best qualities about Erin is that she truly loves to help others. So thank you, Erin, for continuing to help make PWS GREAT!!"

Tim BollingerTravel

"Even though Tim is a Vice President, whenever I have a question about how to improve a process or how to respond to a client, he tells me to put a quick meeting on his calendar. When I meet with him, he turns his monitor off, listens attentively, and then asks me a handful of questions. By asking me questions, Tim helps me get to the resolution quickly, but also does so in a manner that allows me to learn in the process. Tim is an exception leader; kudos to him!"

"Amir quickly stepped up to the plate to help with a critical month-end close issue.  Time-sensitive invoicing to North TX HCA was already late, and we were unable to run the required invoices.  Amir took direction from a co-worker over the phone, and was able to stay calm and collected, while completing the task in a very reasonable amount of time. Thank you for being a team player!  We look forward to seeing you develop your technical skills even more in the future!"

 

Khristann Domville, Project Services

"I would like to thank Khristann for always being willing to go the extra mile for her team.  She is always cheerful and smiling and you can't help but smile when Khristann is around. I can ask Khristann to do something and have full confidence that she is going to complete it quickly and efficiently all with a big smile!"

 

Suzanne LeBlanc, Project Services

"With the role that Suzanne has been playing in supporting Workforce 2.0, she is often working very late hours or hopping on calls at 3am.  Suzanne has worked very late during code pushes, scheduled maintenance and whenever the need occurs.  The amazing part is that she then comes in the next day and works her regular schedule and also is going to school for her Master's Degree.  She's either part vampire or a very dedicate team member.  We appreciate all that she does."

 

Jennifer McConnell, Locum Tenens

"Jennifer McConnell gets it.  She truly understands the expectations of both our clients and our Physicians, and she goes above and beyond day in and day out to meet and exceed those expectations.  She embraces new processes and protocols, and also seeks out ways to be even more efficient.  She not only understands her own role in our department, but she also routinely steps out of her role to help others as needed.  She is kind, good-hearted, positive, and a pleasure to have as a trusted member of our Team.  Thank You!"

 

Ashlee Layne, Credentialing

"I love partnering with Ashlee in regards to Credentialing.  Any time I have come to Ashlee with questions, concerns, feedback, etc., she is helpful and responsive.  When working with her on getting answers or clarification on things, she truly desires to focus on the solution and never plays the finger pointing game.  Her mind is set on what can we do to better the results and get things accomplished.  #BestTeamPlayer"

 

Eddie Parizek, MSP Operations

"I have only been with Parallon for a few weeks but it became quite evident early on that Eddie plays a instrumental role in ensuring that our operational needs are consistently taken care of and that our client concerns are addressed. His approach to problem solving and customer satisfaction is phenomenal. Thanks Eddie for who you are and what you do!" 

 

Kevin Marzilli, Administration

"Recently my department has dramatically increased the volume and frequently of our direct mail activity. Kevin has been incredibly accommodating and helpful despite the increase in workload. I appreciate his assistance and believe he deserves to be recognized for his contributions toward making PWS truly GREAT. Thank you Kevin!"

 

Alexandria Helland, Richmond 

"Alex is simply amazing at her job. She is always available when I need help and I couldn't have asked for a better person to deal with for local contracts. She is very knowledgeable, quick with responses and always working to make a process glide smoothly. She is funny, kind, super caring, and just and all around stellar person and co-worker. I am so glad to be a part of her team."

 

Christin Navitsky, Nashville

"Christin’s personal commitment to quality is obvious in everything she does.  There has not been a time when I have needed help that I wasn’t able to contact her and have the issue resolved immediately. She is always willing to help and is there for her team when they need her. I know she goes above and beyond and I am so happy to be a part of her team. Christin is witty, bright, and amazingly fun to work with.  Christin defiantly makes working at Parallon a great experience daily."

 

Marcus Guyden, Dallas

"Marcus is one of Parallon's greatest Team Leads. He contributes so much to his team and is willing to help others without questions asked."

 

Jennifer Bridge, Denver

"As we get further and further into our Workforce 2.0 implementation, there are many new steps and processes that need to be vetted out and clearly defined.  As an Office Administrator Jennifer has been an early adopter of the tool and finding the ways we can maximize it's effectiveness.  She always asks great questions and sees the bigger picture when it comes to new technology.  She is never wavering in her desire to learn the tool better and to be more efficient.  She is always willing to help and assist when I need her to test things and processes and then go and share her learning's and findings with other OAs in the field."

 

Ralph Scheker, IT&S

"I just wanted to take a minute today to share what a fantastic job Ralph is doing for Parallon. The move to the first floor was seamless. Ralph has gone over and above to meet all of our requests. It is truly the hard work and dedication that made the move successful.  I really appreciate attention to detail, follow up and sense of urgency demonstrated to ensure we were all up and running.  We wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for this type of dedication to excellence."

We have quite a few newer team members who greatly benefited from the training."

 

PJ Delcontivo, Administration

"PJ was instrumental during our move from the 6th floor to the 1st floor. With PJ at the helm she made it look simple. She made sure that all needs were met and offered assistance beyond her required duties.  PJ's commitment and willingness to get the work done made us all feel at ease."

 

Christina Coury, Operations

"Christina is a GEM-she truly is a pleasure to work with. I can't imagine what Christina's day to day looks like with all she handles, but Christina ALWAYS makes the time to make YOU feel important and that any question, small or large, is worth asking. Thank you Christina for wonderfully supporting us in the field and epitomizing what teamwork should look like."

 

Jennifer Bridge, Denver

"Jen has made Parallon GREAT by encompassing the word teamwork. While Jen sits in Denver, she never hesitates to help out another office location outside her assigned areas of responsibility. This is more than just answering questions though-Jen will offer to train someone on something they don't know how to do or work through a problem to figure out a solution. Thank you Jen for all of the support you offer the West region!"

"Yuriem is a steady helping hand in all reports and projects requested to assist. She is efficient and always meets time deadlines. She really make the work load lighter."

 

Andie Bermudez,        West Florida

"In preparation for Simulation 1, Andie went above and beyond to insure her office was prepared.  She came into the office hours before simulation was to kick off, had folders and instructions for her team.  Room setup.  Had her staff come in a bit early so we could all make sure that when noon came, we were ready to go.  She kept her team motivated throughout and excited to be a part of this change.  I can't endorse enough the importance of Directors and management to be the biggest cheerleaders of change for success through that change.  And Andie epitomizes that attitude.  I now refer to the West FL office as the poster child for system conversion preparedness."

Suzanne LeBlanc,     Project Services

"Suzanne has been working around the clock for the past several months to help support many of the Workforce 2.0 initiatives.  She has been called or has had the need to be on calls that span through the night.  After working late into the night or in some cases all night she comes to work and I cannot tell that she has lacked sleep. During code pushes she often works for an extensive number of hours at a time and remains pleasant and high functioning.  Her work is greatly appreciated!"

 

Sylvia Weg-Swezy, Travel

"The travel team is going through a lot of change right now.  There is new technology being implemented, drastic changes being made to processes, and expansion to our headcount. Through all of this Sylvia has been the glue that has held the team together. Even when the stress level of our environment is extremely high Sylvia has a smile on her face and is asking others what else she can do to help.  She is fully dedicated to making Parallon a GREAT place to work and sets a tremendous example for others to follow.  Our team would not be able to produce at the level we currently are without Sylvia."

Ellen Traverso, Education

"Ellen is the go to person for the entire department.  Engagement doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of Ellen's commitment to our staff and clients. No matter what the issue, everyone asks Ellen.  And not only does she provide an answer, she always takes it a step further to provide whatever help she can to solve any issues.  She always has time for everyone and gives her full attention and knowledge to work at the issue at hand.  She is truly a fire fighter!  The growth our department has been experiencing is tremendous, and Ellen has been handling it pretty much on her own.  Then she gets tasked with training two new staff members to help (including myself).  Her patience is almost as unending as her knowledge about how StaRN works.  Everybody knows that no matter what time of the day or night, if there is an issue, Ellen will be there to solve it to the best of her abilities.  I cannot think of anyone that exemplifies the concept of teamwork more day in and day out."

                       

Jennifer Mailly, Recruitment

"Since the day I started working here, Jennifer has welcomed me with open arms. She has been truly helpful in every way, shape, and form to help me get to where I am at now in my current position. She is a natural born leader and a hardworking, passionate, and caring individual. She puts other people's needs in front of hers and always offers a helping hand. Thank you Jennifer for all that you do. She is a true asset to Parallon!"

 

Dennis Kachikis, Travel

"I would like to take this time to recognize Dennis for all his efforts, etc.

Without hesitation, Dennis will always be able to assist one of his fellow co-workers while still maintaining his own work. He will always greet you with a warm smile and a presence that is welcoming to ask for assistance. His dedication to his team and employer has ensured that not only his team but various teams' needs are satisfied. The positive attitude Dennis displays is powerful and contagious which gives me the gratification of being his co-worker. I am able to watch his enthusiastic approach to problem solving and team-building. I feel Dennis is a true asset to his team and Parallon.

He makes himself available to anyone that approaches him. He has a warm smile and a warm heart to compliment. Dennis ensures that the whole travel team's needs are satisfied; but he does not stop with just travel. Dennis has shown that he has enthusiasm in every aspect of his role. I get the pleasure of watching him team-build with many different departments. His in depth knowledge of our company and employees within speak magnitudes of how tenured he is with everyone here. He is a true asset to anyone he encounters!"

Anytime I need help with something, she steps up before I even ask. There were moments where I doubted myself and didn't believe in myself as I should have, and she was there to tell me SHE believed in me. She has certainly pushed me to get to where I am today. She puts everything into all that she does and she inspires me to do more. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do, Ajana!"
