In his capacity as lead security officer, Beaudry provides safety and security services for individuals while at Day Kimball Hospital, which is part of the DKH integrated system, and also protects hospital property from fire, theft or vandalism. His responsibilities include oversight of the switchboard and dispatch functions, which includes answering/directing all incoming phone calls; operating the fire alarm panel; and employing the emergency paging systems.

He is well respected throughout our organization and serves as a valuable resource to all of us. We are extremely fortunate to have Bob as a member of our DKH family.”

Beaudry joined DKH in March of 2008, after 27 years with the Putnam Police Department, retiring at the rank of captain.

“I am both surprised and humbled by this recognition,” said Beaudry. “Every day, I see Day Kimball Hospital employees do great things; to even be considered for this award is an honor.”
