Nicole Missino Named Employee of the Month at Day Kimball Healthcare

Nicole Missino, development coordinator, has been named employee of the month for August at Day Kimball Healthcare (DKH).

“Nicole is our rising star,” said Pamela Watts, DKH development director. “She takes hold of the Day Kimball mission and gives more than what we’re asking for. Whether it’s tracking finances for our ‘Care in a Heartbeat’ capital campaign, planning a major event, receipting thousands of gifts, or creating a needed brochure — Nicole is efficient, reliable and fun.”

Missino is responsible for coordinating all DKH development functions, which includes managing administrative office operations in support of annual campaigns, appeals and special events; documenting, acknowledging and processing all donations; assisting in the planning of, and attending, all major events; and providing data for financial reporting.

“It is an honor to be named the August employee of the month,” said Missino. “I am humbled that among over 1,400 employees who do such wonderful things at DKH every day, I was chosen."

Concerning her position, she stated: “I like knowing that what I do on a daily basis has a positive impact on our community. Whether we are raising funds for someone in our community who needs cancer care or an elderly person in our community who needs in-home care and cannot afford it, my work makes a difference.”

Missino first came to DKH as a college intern, working in philanthropy and corporate communications. After graduation, she worked in the public relations field before returning to DKH Development in 2009 as the administrative assistant. Missino was promoted to development coordinator in 2011.

Currently a resident of Putnam, where she was born and raised, Missino earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Rhode Island. She is a member of the DKH Customer Service Council and Woman’s Board of Day Kimball Hospital.
