BCMH employee of the month for April

Help us congratulate Erick Head, recognized as the BCMH Employee of the Month for April. Erick was hired to our Patient Access department in December 2016, and in October 2017 he transferred to the Finance Department, where he is an accounting clerk. Erick works with nearly all hospital departments and with BCMH Volunteers who work in the Gift Shop.

His assistance is valuable and appreciated by all. His nominator said, “Erick is always going above and beyond what is asked of him. It is not unusual for Erick to step up and go above and beyond what his job duties are. I see it all the time when one of his coworkers has to be gone.

You will never hear him complain either. He has such a great work ethic and is just a great person to be around. Definitely a great representation of what a good employee and person can strive to be.”

Erick's consistent demonstration of BCMH values is commendable, and he deserves this recognition.

Kansas man killed in motor vehicle accident yesterday

On Monday April 1st around 3:41 p.m. the Kansas State Highway Patrol along with Crawford County Kansas Sheriff's Deputies responded to a fatality accident on Kansas Highway 7 about nine miles south of Girard, Kansas.

The Kansas State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred when the southbound 1988 Chevrolet Blazer driven by 74 year old Terry Harper of Frontenac, Kansas was southbound on Kansas Highway 7 when a 1989 GMC truck driven by 64 year old Antonio Gallardo of Miami, Oklahoma failed to yield and backed out of a private drive on the East side of the highway into the path of the Blazer. 

Mr. Harper swerved in an attempt to avoid a collision, but the Blazer struck the left front corner of the GMC truck, upon which time he then overcorrected back to the right, causing the Blazer to overturn.

Terry Harper was pronounced dead at the scene of this accident.
