Melody should be recognized for her willingness to go into staffing. She was willing to do whatever was needed so MedSurg could have coverage. She is definitely a shining star and an example of what true director's leadership looks like. She was willing to come in and take a team on MedSurg, a department that she does not manage or oversee. I haven't seen that type of director's leadership in a long time. She was willing to give up her staff and her July 4th holiday with her family to ensure that we had coverage. It really touched me. I could have cried seeing how dedicated she is to our hospital and to our patients.
