Day Kimball Healthcare Names Lindsay Ferrer, Radiologic Technologist, Employee of the Month for January

Lindsay Ferrer, radiologic technologist for Day Kimball Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging department, has been named employee of the month for January by Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH).

Ferrer has worked in the field for nine years, beginning her career in 2009 at DKH after spending rotations in the department to complete clinical requirements as a student. As a radiologic technologist, Ferrer performs diagnostic x-ray exams of patients, and aids in the diagnosis of bone injuries and illnesses. She also performs x-rays as needed to emergency room patients, inpatients, and walk-in outpatients, as well as assisting in the OR with imaging as needed and assisting radiologists in various special procedures.

According to Ferrer’s supervisor, Director of Laboratory Services and Diagnostic Imaging, Patti Bernier, “Lindsay is very deserving of this award and recognition. She is a model employee and has a positive presence about her. She consistently offers to help throughout the Diagnostic Imaging department and is kind and compassionate with all her patients. She exemplifies the organization’s C.A.R.E. philosophy of courtesy, attitude, respect and enthusiasm. We are a better department because of Lindsay’s caring nature.”

When asked about what she likes most about her job, Ferrer said, “The best part of my job and the reason that truly makes me enjoy coming to work is the great group of people that I work with! My co-workers are my second family and it really makes it an enjoyable environment to work in.”

In response to being named employee of the month, Ferrer said, “It is a huge honor to be given the title of Employee of the Month and I couldn’t be more grateful! There are so many employees that are deserving of this award, and to know that I was chosen for this month makes me feel overwhelmingly thankful. It was a big surprise, but a great surprise!”

Ferrer grew up in North Providence, RI and currently resides in Cranston, RI. Ferrer earned her certification from Windham Hospital Program of Radiologic Technology. Ferrer is very involved in dog rescue and fosters dogs in her home until they are adopted, and volunteers for Rhode Home Rescue, a foster-based, non-profit organization that rescues dogs and places them in secure, loving homes. She also creates and sells soy candles in a business she started two years ago called Cozy Light Candle Co.
