team members who exceed expectations. Each quarter, Health System team

with patients, visitors and/or fellow team members. From among the Stars
of the Quarter, a Star of the Year is chosen.

is needed,” Ebri added. “His technical expertise is such that
he has often made recommendations that greatly improved a process or the
product on which he was working. His enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring
everything
goes
smoothly, no matter the task, sets him apart from others.”
