Thank you for this honor.”

Attributes of the Associate of the Quarter include high values, a positive attitude and sense of professionalism. Payne reflects the core values of the hospital: integrity, teamwork, compassion, excellence, stewardship, innovation and a heart of service.

“I am thrilled that Wilma was nominated for Associate of the Quarter as I think she does an awesome job,” said Melissa Bauer, director of the E.D. at Unity Health – WCMC. “She is always nice and helpful to others whether they are patients, families or coworkers. She is also great about thinking forward as far as anticipating the needs of others before she is even asked to. She is always willing to help whenever needed, however she can. I feel blessed to have Wilma as part of our E.D. family.”
