Garrett Regional Medical Center Cardiopulmonary Department Receives Team Excellence Award for Fourth Quarter

Garrett Regional Medical Center recently announced the cardiopulmonary department has been named the quarter four team excellence award recipient.

The cardiopulmonary department was recognized for going above and beyond and making such a positive impact on the cardiopulmonary students from Allegany College of Maryland (ACM).

“The ACM students thoroughly enjoy and prefer to do their clinicals at GRMC to complete their rotations,” said Shelba Ringer, clinical nurse educator at GRMC. “The students have shared how the cardiopulmonary team encourages them to ask questions, provides a great atmosphere to learn and work as a team, and always makes them feel welcome. They hope to be employed at GRMC after graduation.”

This award recognizes teams who foster qualities that help to achieve departmental or organizational goals and support the hospital’s overall mission of treating every patient and each other like a member of our own family.

“GRMC welcomes students from ACM and other schools; we take pride in being able to provide clinical opportunities for students as they work towards meeting the expectations and requirements of the program they are enrolled in,” said Amanda Simmons, director of education at GRMC.
