Announcements

Employee of the Month

Chad Curry, LP

UMC EMS

Chad and his team partnered with Trauma & Burn Services to teach a Stop the Bleed class at my husband's work and also provided them with Stop the Bleed kits and tourniquets. Later in the year, there was an accident with a machine, and the staff had to use the Stop the Bleed kits to save the man's life. Chad helped the staff mentally process the incident, and he also replaced their Stop the Bleed kits. Chad is the epitome of service is our passion.
Attending of the Month

Jose Chi, MD

Texas Tech Physicians, Hospital Medicine

Dr. Chi takes time to see and talk to his patients, while always addressing their concern. He is an awesome doctor, and is very approachable. He always answers in a quick manner when we have concerns with his patients. Thank you, Dr. Chi, stay the best!
House Staff of the Month

Erin Burton, MD

TTUHSC, Dept. of Surgery

Dr. Burton is such a positive and lovely person to be around. She is always going out of her way to make sure everyone is doing okay! There isn’t a day that has gone by that she hasn’t offered to get me food or a drink. I'm so glad we have had her as our resident this past month!
Advanced Practice Provider of the Quarter

Mario Aguayo, CRNA

TTUHSC Dept. of Anesthesiology

Mario Aguayo is so friendly and spoken very highly of by my mother who underwent two endoscopies. Mother was nervous about the procedure and Mario calmed her nerves and put her at ease. I was pleased with the level of care given and want to thank him and UMC for doing an excellent job in caring for my family.
