She assumed the secretarial position for the department in October 2009. In her role, she provides administrative and clerical support for the director of acute care. She processes employee evaluations, schedules meetings and conferences, verifies timecards, generates requisitions for ordering/repairing equipment and office materials, and assists in other various tasks including revisions to multiple Day Kimball policy manuals.

Alves stated, “I feel honored to be recognized among my peers, especially knowing how many employees are so deserving of this award.” She continued, “Working in a clinical setting and providing secretarial support allows me to meet with and work with so many individuals at all levels of the corporate structure as well as patients. I truly enjoy that.”

Alves earned an Executive Secretarial Associates Degree from Becker Jr. College and became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) after attending Quinebaug Valley Community College’s CNA program. She is a Eucharistic Minister and substitute Adorer and is involved with the Crossroads Youth Group.
