CleanSlate’s Excellence in Action award is nomination-based recognition program that recognizes and celebrates our support team across the entire enterprise. Winners are selected from nominees that demonstrate our values of patients first; science and medicine matter; everyday innovation; respect and compassion always; and together we succeed.
Congratulations to our winter winners!
Adam Arriaga
Senior Lab Trainer Assistant, Holyoke, MA
“Adam always helps his coworkers with whatever they need. He continually shows kindness, care, and exceptional professionalism. In many situations, he has reacted promptly, providing direction and instruction. With his excellent leadership, he is the prime example of a team player. We are so grateful to have him keeping lab operations moving at all times!”
Kim Tipton
Patient Support Agent, Call Center
“Bebi represents “patients first” and “respect and compassion always.” Bebi has a genuine connection with each patient that walks through the doors of CleanSlate Wilkes-Barre. Bebi cares about the patients; she provides a positive and welcoming environment to our patients. When Bebi is not at the front desk, the patients recognize this and want to know where she is and that she is okay. The patients are always complimenting me about how amazing Bebi is.”
Toni Jordan-Larkins
Medical Assistant II, Indianapolis
“You’ll never hear Toni say: That’s not my job! Every day, she goes above daily expectations and job duties – and she does it all with a smile. Not only does she put patients first, but she is passionate about making sure her co-workers aren’t overwhelmed or stressed. Even when it gets really busy (and when she’s the only person working in the lab!), she is happy, helpful, kind, and considerate. We appreciate everything she does for us and the smiles she always gives out!”
Carmen Mata
Medical Assistant II, Greenfield, WI
“Our patients (and colleagues) absolutely love Carmen. She is an amazing co-worker and an asset to our clinic. I’ve watched her help several patients going through a difficult time. One of her many talents is being able to look at a patient and seeing what else they may need. It isn’t uncommon for her to research and find other resources for patients who need more than our addiction treatment services. Our patients are grateful to have her and know that when they are in need of something. they can turn to Carmen.”
