Oconee Medical Center’s video, titled “It’s All About the
Patient,” highlights their mammography supervisor, J.J. Thomas.
J.J.’s co-workers and patients describe how she inspires them
everyday with her intense focus on her patient care — not
only their medical exams including mammograms, biopsies, surgeries,
etc., but also on their emotional well being during what is often a
very difficult time for them.
“J.J. Thomas embodies the spirit of the ‘Who Inspires You?’
contest with her unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional,
personal care to her patients. We are thrilled that her work is
being recognized and that we are the winner of a new MAMMOMAT
Inspiration digital mammography system,” said Blake Poleynard, MD,
OMC, radiologist at Oconee Medical Center. “As a small, community
hospital that is still using film-based mammography, we believe
that this system will help us provide the best possible medical
services to our patients.”
In addition to Oconee Medical Center, who wins a new
Inspiration, five other healthcare providers were chosen as
runners-up and will each receive $10,000 toward the purchase of a
new Inspiration. The runners-up are: Moberly Radiology and Imaging,
Moberly, Mo., Rush Memorial Hospital, Rushville, Ind., Cobre Valley
Regional Medical Center, Globe, Ariz., Lincoln Hospital, Davenport,
Wash., and Sitka Community Hospital, Tillamook, Ark.
“It is obvious from the video submissions that every healthcare
facility has their own unique challenges
