Volume5/1991_March08UNIVERSITY OF UTAH HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER PULSE March 8, 1991 UH\u27s Veteran Staffers Recognized for Loyal Service Two hundred fourteen UH employ-ees, who have cumulatively logged 1,860 years of work, were honored last week at University Hospital\u27s annual Service Awards Banquet. Among the evening\u27s honorees was Corine Bridgewaters, Social Work, who has worked more than three decades at the Hospital. Thirteen individuals celebrated their silver anniversaries at UH. One of them, Jan Bair, director of Pharmacy Services, said during brief remarks, " It\u27s the people... that make this organization." Reminiscing on some of the friendships he has forged during his tenure here, he added, " We have one of the best and most efficient organizations in the coun-try." Rosa Key, Business Office, another 25- year veteran, explained how she came to work here. With two job offers- one from UH and the other from Holiday Inn- it boiled down to an appendicitis attack that forced her to take the job with the later starting date. Ralph Stevens, Facilities and Engineering, was congratulated on his use of only a single sick day during his 25 years at the Hospital. The climax of the evening came with the announcement of the Hospital\u27s 1990 Employee of the Year. The honor went to two staffers: Debra L. Taylor, Quality Assurance, and Mark Fitches, Nutrition Care Services. Taylor is described by her supervi-sor as someone always eager to learn and attain new skills. " Debra\u27s attitude demonstrates care and concern for the patient as the benefici-ary of quality efforts. She is a dedicated and loyal employee." Last year Taylor served as acting director of the department while a new department head was being recruited. She serves on a number of Hospital committees and has been active in the Utah chapter of the American Diabetes Association. Fitches is the Hospital\u27s executive chef and his culinary masterpieces have graced numerous affairs including Hospital Board luncheons, State Fair cooking competitions and special development programs. Fitches is currently working toward classification as " Master Chef," an American Culinary Institute designa-tion held by very few chefs in the country. Fitches\u27 service director says, " At times he has been down 30 percent of his staff. He just pitches in and works until all is done." Taylor and Fitches were two of five finalists for the Employee of the Year honor.
