Recently at Mercy Health hospital I have received the pickle cup, what this is, is a reward for the whole hospital for somebody that has gone up and beyond their job. Somebody that has compassion and took the initiative to do more than what their job entitles. A year ago I have received a letter from the vice president of the hospital stating what a great job, I have done. He was recognizing the fact that I always pitch in and come in when they need me and go beyond my job. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
