Ann demonstrates daily what excellent patient care is. She is constantly on the phone and in the halls making sure that each and every patient is where they need to be.

She maintains the schedules for MULTIPLE providers and does this without complaint. The Outpatient Clinic is a very busy clinic and has constant changes and Ann works through each and every hurdle with professionalism.

Even during the most challenging days Ann remains steadfast. Ann has a great relationship with our OPC providers, and they respect and appreciate her.

Ann has great respect for all staff at ACMH. She has a great relationship with her coworkers and her coworkers respect and value her. She also has a great sense of humor which lightens those stressful days!

I have been in the halls and heard her interactions with our patients as well as being a patient myself.  She is kind, caring and professional. She makes every patient feel welcome the minute they enter the department.

Ann is an amazing chaos coordinator and her dedication and commitment to her team, our providers and most importantly our patients has a positive impact on ACMH.”
