Tucker receives second "C.A.R.E." Award from Northern Montana Health Care

From Northern Montana Health Care

Last week, Northern Montana Health Care presented its second C.A.R.E. Award to William "Bill" Tucker, a member of the laboratory dervices team. Tucker has worked at NMHC for four years.

"Bill's co-workers nominated him for his strong work ethic. Bill is our primary phlebotomist at the Northern Montana Specialty Medical Center," said Cindy Lamb, NMH lab director. "His patients appreciate his gentle manner and professional demeanor. His co-workers rely on him for his steadfastness and willingness to help out. Bill is also an excellent community member, being very active in the VFW Honor Huard, VP of Eagles Aerie 166, member of the local American Legion, a coordinator of the Recycle Hi-Line project, and a driving force behind the first annual Stand Down event held for Hi-Line Veterans."

Tucker was presented with a special logoed jacket as part of a surprise announcement from the High Five Club at NMHC last Tuesday. Photos from the event can be found on the Northern Montana Hospital page on Facebook.
