BCMH April Employee of the Month

NATALIE MILLER is recognized as the Bates County Memorial Hospital Employee of the Month for April, 2013. Natalie has been employed as a Certified Nursing Assistant in the Nursing Department since August, 2008. Natalie has been recognized by several patients and families for her excellent patient care. She is very attentive and caring to her patients. Natalie makes them feel like they are her only patient even when she is busy. Natalie does not complain and is always willing to help others. She does the little extra things to make our patients feel better like washing and braiding their hair. The hospital is fortunate to have Natalie on its healthcare team.

Students of the Month

The Adrian Optimist Club is pleased to honor Students of the Month from the Miami, Ballard, and Adrian schools. Criteria for this honor center on outstanding academic and civic achievement and school spirit. Staff at each of the schools make the selection, and their decision is based on expansion of these criteria. Selection is based on the criteria, but a student stepping up to a particular task will come to play in it. Each student is honored with a certificate of recognition from the Adrian Optimist Club and $20.00 in Adrian Chamber of Commerce “Chamber Bucks”.

For March, the Miami student is Crystal Routen. Crystal, a junior, is the daughter of Forrest and Shelly Routen. She is very active especially in FFA, choir, volleyball, softball, basketball, and track. Crystal is also very active beyond school with more FFA and softball, as well as working part-time. She truly appreciates the inspiration she receives from her friends and Coach Keith Smith. She does not have a sure plan for after high school; but if she goes to college, basketball will likely be involved. Miami staff state that Crystal is extremely hard working and determined to succeed. She wants very much to do well in any endeavor, both at school and at home; and they are proud of her.

Christian Graham, a junior, is the Adrian student for March. He is the son of Roni and Christian Graham. Christian is active in football, wrestling, track, FFA, and FCCLA at school. After school he enjoys any activity done outside; especially fishing and hanging with friends. Christian is inspired by his family pushing him to be the best he can be. He plans to attend college and play football there. Staff at Adrian say Christian is a really great student to have in class; he always has a smile on his face and is willing to work. Christian is always respectful and an all around fun person.

The Ballard student for March is Cheyenne Page, senior daughter of Kent and Lori Page. Staff at Ballard states “Cheyenne is involved in several extra-curricular activities including volleyball, NHS, and 4-H. She plans on going to nursing school after high school and is working very hard to make sure her future is successful. She is a T.A. for elementary art and works well with elementary students one-on-one to help them complete projects on time. She has been seen to go from an introvert to an extrovert from 9th-12th grade. She is very helpful and always does what is asked of her. She is very humble, respectful, and genuinely cares about others. She is very organized and a great multi-tasker! ”
