Congratulations to Emily Wentworth, Patient Care Technician, for receiving the September Tulip Award! "Emily is an excellent patient care tech and co-worker and I feel indescribably grateful for each shift that I am scheduled to work with her. She has an internal drive to perform well, which is unmatched. She is currently in nursing school and takes the initiative at work to absorb information from co-workers, as she enjoys soaking up knowledge and facts to help her be the best nurse she can be when she graduates. Emily is awesome and Bryan is so lucky to have her as an employee." Emily, thank you for the care you provide daily to your patients. You make a difference in the lives of others. We are grateful that you are part of the Bryan Medical Staff.
