BCMS
honors Unsung Hero Wendy Garza
Wendy Garza is synonymous with title, "Unsung
Hero," her colleagues say.
Ms. Garza has been with Northeast
Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, LLP, since the very beginning, 15
years ago. She has been in the trenches of the hard work that has
contributed to growth and continues to be in the trenches with her
staff to get all things billing and collections accomplished.
She is the "go-to" person
for just about everyone in the organization, from doctors,
administrators, fellow managers, staff and patients, and she will
always stop what she is doing in order to help whoever is requesting
her assistance.
"What makes Wendy Garza a great
nominee for this recognition is the fact that she does all of this with
the best positive attitude and can keep a smile on her face while there
may be chaos in the midst, which has a calming affect for all those
around her," the practice's physicians and staff wrote in her
nomination letter.
"She does all of this and does
not seek recognition, accolades or validation. She does all of this
because that is just part of her DNA. She has a tremendous work ethic
and loyalty to this company that makes us proud that she works for
Northeast Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine."
BCMS recognizes physicians' officer
managers/administrators who assist BCMS members to deliver the best
quality care to area patients. Winners receive gift certificates and
are eligible for annual prizes.
