Eileen Arbogast is the Employee Health Nurse at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center (OCMC) that always ensures the staff is in the best of health while caring for our patients. I feel Eileen embodies the spirit of Orange Coast Medical Center in many extraordinary ways. Eileen oversees physicians, nurses, and all ancillary department health needs which nothing is less than “simply amazing!” Fit testing, TB test, flu vaccine, health exams, and many other staff wellness needs are provided by Eileen. During this pandemic with COVID-19, she has been busy answering multiple calls from staff requiring information about positive test results or exposure, in addition to numerous staff members dealing with increased stress and overwhelming fear. Through her clinical expertise and experience, she meets the needs of staff with grace, knowledge, and confidence. She will provide a smile or a nod that brings tranquility to the spirit of those she encounters. When staff contacts Eileen, she expresses warmth and calmness that often helps to alleviate any concerns or worries that one may be experiencing at that time. Eileen consistently takes those few extra minutes to connect with the staff by engaging them in conversation through her thoughtfulness and compassion. Ms. Arbogast exemplifies professionalism and commitment to high standards by being a role model for others. She is a person of honesty and integrity that is demonstrated each day through her work here at Orange Coast. When one considers the recognition of a DAISY Award, one thinks of Eileen; she embodies all that this award was meant to celebrate and honor. She is a one-of-a-kind cherished super nurse that each one of us has had the pleasure of meeting here at OCMC. Thank you, Eileen, for caring for each one of us with such heartfelt kindness so that we may continue to serve those in need. ~ A Grateful Co-worker
