Georgia Harris
Georgia Harris has more than 11 years of experience in the Environmental Services department and was nominated by a team member for coming to the aid of a visitor.
Georgia routinely walks the hallways to check all areas, including the nutrition room, where she found a visitor unconscious. She immediately took action and stayed with the visitor until help arrived. At the end of her shift, Georgia returned to visit her new patient, who expressed gratitude for her care.
The team member wrote, “Georgia’s compassionate response helped to make this situation a positive outcome. This is just one of many examples of Georgia’s sweet nature. She stepped outside her comfort zone and went beyond her call of duty to make a difference in someone’s life.”
“Georgia’s compassion and empathy for others exemplifies what a Service First Champion should be,” said James Grantham, Baptist Union County’s CEO and administrator. “Outstanding team members like Georgia make a real difference at Baptist Union County and in the lives of our patients.”
