I wanted to reach out and take a minute to let you know how amazing Rebecca Hager is doing to support Kristin Taranto in the Division. She is a great example of making the transition to the Division from Training as seamless as possible. She is consistent, supportive, and partnering with not only Kristin but the QA Team and myself to make sure that Kristin is successful. Just wanted to let you know and throw some KUDOS out there to Becky!! – Missy Shirey

Shout out to Hayle Morgan in branch 274! On a team member’s last day, Hayle took the time to put together a card, flowers and candy to send her off. Hayle included funding in the card messages. It meant a lot to our team to be included. Thank you, Hayle, for going above and beyond to show how much you care about your coworkers! – Dawn Royce

I don't know if we have spoken before, but if we have, then you know what a difficult time I had getting my power wheelchair paperwork rolling. Then, there were some issues with the occupational therapist, who did not get the paperwork you needed, and the whole process was a nightmare.  That is, until Amy Andersen stepped in. I have no idea who put her in contact with me, but I am grateful beyond measure because my chair comes tomorrow morning. What had been in processing for 5 months was accomplished by Amy in about 3 weeks. Not only was she efficient, but she was also friendly, empathetic, and an excellent communicator.  My biggest problem was that no one was telling me what the delays were about. Amy was in frequent contact with me so I could take on any chaos that I could help with. As a retired nurse (2 specialties, ER, and hospital floor nurse), I know patients want to be kept up to date. They (now we) want to know what's going on in their care. Amy was a rock star at all of this.   I took plenty of time to yell and scream at ANYONE and everyone who stood between me and safety and independence. It is only fair that I let you know what a wonderful employee you have in Amy.  She is the reason my Google review will now be a 5 stars instead of what I intended when this started. She completely changed my mind about your company and your service.  Thank you, Mr. Harkness, and thank you, Amy.   – NSM Client

Thank You Mid-South Team for a very successful April! Let's continue to keep this momentum going into May- you all are truly an amazing Team! – Megan McCauley

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your support in loaning Cheri Watson and Liz Valentin to work the West MIRs.  Their contributions have been invaluable, and they have had a significant impact on our MIRs. – Tami Perez

Kudos to Chandra! Chandra took time to research and understand Nevada Medicaid documentation and clinical requirements. The clinical guide and funding guide she put together is priceless.  I can’t thank you enough Chandra!  Your impact is immeasurable! – Dawn Royce

MidAtlantic Team - Thank you for an AMAZING April, we started the month with a DOO of 34 and ended the month at 31.  We rocked our submission & our approval goal, even though we didn't have a great start in the beginning of the month.  It was truly a TEAM effort, thank you to everyone who pitched in and help make April a success!  Words cannot describe how thankful I am for each and every one of YOU! – Regina Flosser

A shout out to Jennifer Gannon who messaged me and asked if she could help me in my DR que as it has gotten behind due to me taking time off. This gesture means a great deal to me as I do not like having my orders fall in the past due column and her reaching out to help me get this back on track just shows how amazing she is. Thank you, Jennifer, so much for offering your help and easing the workload on my first day back after taking time off. You are AWESOME! – Jon Perkins
