"Helping others gives me purpose," shares Kim. 

This marks the second time that Kim has received North Oaks Employee of the Month recognition. In March 2017, she was first honored.

“Kim is an exceptional employee with the most positive of attitudes," asserts Supply Chain Director Carol DeVault. "Every day, she lives beyond the scope of her job description. Whether delivering supplies to the floors, pulling food carts, or lending a helping hand to her coworkers, patients or visitors, Kim keeps going until the job gets done!”
