Island Hospital of Anacortes has named Carol Boring, RN, of Orcas Medical Center (OMC), “Employee of the Month” for April 2014. The hospital and its affiliates, including the Orcas clinic, employ a total of about 670 people, so this honor is significant.

Carol has worked at OMC since 2006 and is “lead nurse” with responsibility for both patient and administrative tasks. A registered nurse since 1972, Carol has extensive experience in both hospital and clinic settings.

“Carol takes pride in doing a great job,” reads the Island Hospital Certificate of Achievement. “She is excellent at coordination of care, which is extremely important in a primary care office. She enjoys providing patient education and her instructions to patients are always crystal clear.”

“In addition,” adds OMC’s Camille Fleming, MD, MBA, “Carol is a joy to work with and is a fabulous resource for our patients and staff.”

The certificate commends Carol’s fulfillment of Island Hospital’s “Promise” to patients, which is, “We always place your emotional and medical needs first and foremost.” The certificate concludes with the words, “Congratulations and thanks for being an inspiration, Carol!”
