Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award Program

The Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award Program is designed to recognize and reward individuals who have gone above and beyond their formal, identified job duties to exceed the needs of our patients, visitors, and staff.  The program is open to all staff, students, and volunteers who are part of the UI Health Care community.  Individuals, who believe a UI Health Care staff member or volunteer has gone above and beyond what is expected in their normal job duties, can complete a recognition form.

We recognize the following individuals who received this award in 2006:

Dr. Richard J Smith
Marla Ross
Caroline Simons

We also say congratulations to each and everyone of you who may have received this award in the years past.  We are proud to know that many of the individuals who represent our department have made this list.  Congratulations and keep up the great work!
