Each month across the Healthy Connections Community Health Network, exemplary employees are nominated for this award for representing our Three Pillars: Excellence, Compassion, and Community. These pillars are considered heavily when choosing winners.

As winners of this Shining STAR award, Gena and Jasmine are winners of a $50 gift card to the HC Hub Company Store.

Gena is a Medical Assistant at the Mena clinic and has worked for Healthy Connections for more than a year. Jasmine has only worked for Healthy Connections a short time but is already making her mark as a patient care coordinator at the Little Rock Midtown clinic. Check out these amazing comments left by their coworkers when nominating them for this award:

  • Gena has never failed to jump in and help wherever she can. She is the definition of a team player. She also keeps a smile on her face while helping. As a patient and coworker, I couldn’t be happier to be on a team with her.”
  • Jasmine went above and beyond to help get a [form] signed for a patient that needed records to submit to insurance for a surgical procedure. She was so kind and could hear the smile on her face over the phone. What a great team player and example for others.”
  • Gena is always helping the other nurses before anyone even asks. She is so good with the patients. She hustles no matter what she is doing.”
  • Jasmine goes out of her way to make sure each and every patient is taken care of in a timely manner. She is very attentive when it comes to doing things the right way and most definitely has all three pillars.”

Congratulations to both Gena and Jasmine.
