January 2007 Points of Excellence Award Winner

The Points of Excellence award for January goes to Christina Davis, Registered Nurse working in the Student Health Center. Christina cheerfully goes above and beyond the expected job responsibilities and has a deep commitment to the education of future generations of health care providers. She has high expectations of students but interacts with them in a gentle and patient manner, assisting them in developing their self confidence as health care providers. Here are a few comments one staff member has to say about her, "..In the past, a number of students have been unable to successfully manage their chronic conditions such as diabetes or depression simply because they could not afford to regularly purchase the necessary medications or supplies. Many students have no insurance coverage. Christina took the initiative to research medication assistance programs for students. She assists students with the application process for these programs and now many of our students receive their medications or supplies absolutely free of charge."

Another had this to say, "Christina also identified dispensing of oral contraceptives as an area that needed improvement within the Student Health Center and designed a computer program that virtually eliminated the possibility of errors. This customized system has streamlined the procedure, simplified the process, made the job easier for student workers, and greatly decreased the potential area of liability for the Student Health Center; as a side benefit, the automated information provides students the current status of their annual women’s health exam and their prescription status. Christina is one of the most responsible and dedicated employees that I have ever known. She is committed to excellence in the performance of her job..."

It is with great pleasure that the Points of Excellence Award for January be presented to Christina Davis.
