From STAFF REPORTS

AMERICUS — Employees at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center, and other Phoebe Putney Health System facilities are being honored with the PRIDE Award for their dedication and hard work.
The most recent award recipient is Sylvia Layfield, clinic team leader at Phoebe Primary Care of Americus. She was nominated for the award by a colleague for her hard work and willingness to always go the extra mile.
The colleague wrote, “Sylvia does her job so well that as a result, everyone asks for her specifically when they have a billing question or need to make a payment. This may all be duties outlined in her job description but she is always so helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable in her duties but she is always such a positive person. I am proud to have her represent Phoebe!”
Phoebe PRIDE stands for Person Responding In Dedicated Excellence and recognizes excellence in the workplace by non-nursing employees. The award is presented periodically throughout the year and each winner is recognized at a special ceremony. Patients, family, visitors, employees and volunteers are encouraged to nominate a Phoebe employee they see responding in dedicated excellence.
