Nurse Wins Employee Of Year

BERLIN – Mey-Lie
Salimian, a registered nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at Peninsula Regional
Medical Center, was recently named the 2010 Employee of the Year at the annual
employee recognition banquet held in conjunction with National Hospital Week.

While presenting the
Employee of the Year, President/CEO Peggy Naleppa described Salimian, a 28-year
veteran of the ICU and a Berlin resident, as a hard working and dedicated nurse
who exemplifies professionalism to the utmost degree. Mey-Lie was recognized
for her commitment to patient care, her colleagues, families and the Medical
Center. Friends describe her as a team player who is always willing to give a
helping hand when needed, and a strong educator, always eager to enhance her
knowledge base. To her peers, Mey-Lie acts as a friend, mentor and leader.
She’s said to be a great role model, valuable employee and superior nurse.

Mey-Lie was selected
from a field of 16 candidates who had earned Employee of the Quarter honors in
Support Services, Nursing Services, Administrative Services and Professional
Services.

Of the many gifts she
received for earning Employee of the Year, perhaps none is more coveted than
her own designated parking space at the Medical Center for the next year.
