Jamestown (JRMC) Has announced the recent Legend Award recipients, Katie Barta, Courtney Cook, Maggy Russek and Brianna Six. The Legend Award is the most prestigious distinction for a JRMC employee. The Legend Award recognizes employees who exceed expectations and are THE difference in the lives of those they serve.

Essentia Health Family Medicine Physician Dr. Kilby Osborn nominated the Registered Nurses after he served a shift as JRMC’s hospitalist.
He says, “Under increasing pressures, these four nurses performed above and beyond expectations. Their initiative, efficiency, attention to detail and professionalism were above and beyond expectations given the unforeseen circumstances. The outstanding performance by the above-named nurses reflect great credit upon themselves, JRMC and their profession.”

JRMC Legends are real-life examples for others to follow. Every day, acts of heroism take place in healthcare. In today’s healthcare environment, a highly functioning team is essential to providing safe, quality patient care.
When healthcare team members work together, they share knowledge and skills, communicate more effectively and make better decisions. This positively impacts patient outcomes. We celebrate the teamwork and ethics Katie, Courtney, Margaret, and Brianna demonstrated.”

A legend is not created in a day. It takes consistent commitment to performing with selfless purpose. A legend commits every day — without concern for recognition — to being irreplaceable. Katie, Courtney, Margaret and Brianna are examples of this, said Patient Care Unit

Manager Lisa Schrenk states:

“These nurses deserve this recognition because they are intelligent, genuine, compassionate individuals that embody everything that an exceptional nurse is. A nurse doesn’t go to work thinking about how he or she can receive an award, rather they show up to every shift to ensure their patients receive the very best care that they deserve. These awesome ladies are no exception, and I am so proud of them and extremely grateful they are here caring for patients at JRMC.”. 

Each month, JRMC employees cast nominations for the next Legend Award winner. Once nominations are in, JRMC’s 350 employees vote on their favorite nominees and their stories.
