Nancy L. Meade, a registered nurse for Day Kimball Medical Group has been named the latest employee of the month at Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH).

For the last eight years, Meade has been working in the Day Kimball Medical Group Family Medicine practice in Danielson, primarily with Dr. Andrea Gutierrez, DO.

According to Nancy Zamagni, Physician Office Liaison/ EMR Trainer for Day Kimball Medical Group, “Nancy is a very outgoing, dedicated RN that watches out for her patients at all times. She is a true advocate for them. Over the years she has gotten to know them well and will coach, remind, lecture when needed, provide praise and the like. They become part of her extended family and she treats them as such. She is a definite asset to the Medical Group with her many years of experience.”

Meade’s career in the medical field spans some 27 years, with most of those years being spent at DKH. She began working at Day Kimball Hospital as a medical/surgical clinical coordinator in 1989.

Upon hearing about this recognition, Meade said, “I was amazed and had goose bumps when I learned about being named employee of the month. It is nice to know that your peers think so highly of you.”
