Virginia “Ginny” Townsend Selected as Hattiesburg Clinic’s Employee of the Quarter
Virginia “Ginny” Townsend, LPN, at Hattiesburg Clinic Dermatology – South, has been selected as the Employee of the Quarter. This recognition is awarded based on nominations from peers, managers and patients, and the final selection is made by a committee representing all levels of the clinic. Townsend is being recognized for her overall commitment and dedication to Hattiesburg Clinic and its patients.
Sarah Kelly, DCNP, at Dermatology – South, praised Townsend’s commitment to patient care and being a team player, stating, “We were short staffed for about two months, and Ginny was committed to being at work during this time to ensure patients received the care they needed, even though she had planned to be out for personal reasons.”
Kelly also highlighted Townsend’s consistency, saying, “We have a steep learning curve in dermatology, so there was a great deal of extra effort put into the training. Then, the nurse she trained had to be out for eight weeks on maternity leave, so Ginny was again by herself, providing excellent support for me (her provider) and patients.”
Townsend has demonstrated unwavering dedication to the clinic and its patients, consistently going above and beyond her duties. Whether rescheduling personal plans to be there for patients, supporting her provider or giving up personal plans to voluntarily training a new nurse when the clinic was short staffed, she has shown a deep commitment to excellence and compassionate care. Her selfless actions make her an invaluable asset to Hattiesburg Clinic.
Thank you, Ginny, for going above and beyond for your coworkers, Hattiesburg Clinic and our patients. We appreciate you!
