MAHHC recognizes employees who consistently exceed expectations with reliability and daily dedication to their work.
In her role, Silver provides supportive and rehabilitative nursing care to patients. In doing so, she collaborates with clinical support staff, physicians and other healthcare professionals as part of a team-based, patient-centered care approach. Silver joined MAHHC in January 2010.
Ruth Doiron, RN, nominated Silver for this recognition. “Lisa is very hard working and cares very much for her patients. She is kind to everyone as well as she takes the time to help others when they need it. She is a person to talk to you when you need it,” Doiron said.
