Tate, chief executive officer for USA Physicians Group. “For those who may be unfamiliar with our system, they are also able to offer friendly concierge service to our physicians.” According to Tate, the most efficient way for patients to gather information is by visiting the health system Web site at www. usahealthsystem.com.

USA Hospital EmployeesNamed Alabama“Hospital Heroes”
Two USA Hospitals’ employeeswith some 55 years of combinedhealth care experience have beenrecognized by the Alabama HospitalAssociation as regional “HospitalHeroes” for their contributions tohealth care excellence.
Ron Hodges, assistant chiefpharmacist at the USA Children’s &Women’s Hospital, has providedpharmaceutical care to patients atChildren’s & Women’s for 30 years,and Cindy Carrigan, the strokeprogram special projects coordinatorat the USA Medical Center, is a 25-year health care employee.
Hodges supervises the dailyactivities of the Children’s & Women’spharmacy, such as scheduling,maintaining appropriate technologyand working with other staff toensure pharmaceutical knowledge isincluded in patient care treatmentplans.
“Ron is a hard-working professional,someone you can always count on toput the needs of patients first,” saidUSA Children’s & Women’s HospitalChief Pharmacist Robby Smith. Hisdedication was illustrated back in1980 when floodwaters were knee-deep in the hospital pharmacy and
Hodges continued on the job asusual. Co-workers said he’s been atthe hospital many a night when ahurricane is approaching or when he’soffered to work for one of his staff.
Hodges’ community activitiesinclude participation in a programthat provides counseling to studentsat area schools regarding theirasthma medications. He has alsotaken several mission trips and isactive in his local church, singing inthe choir and in several musicalgroups. “We have had occasionswhen Ron has visited a patient’sroom, especially a patient inparticularly difficult circumstances,and sung something that will lift apatient’s spirits,” Smith said.
Carrigan was cited by USAMedical Center peers as an “aroundthe clock” worker who tirelesslyeducates staff and provides feedbackwhile building support for thehospital’s stroke program. Recently,under Carrigan’s leadership, USAMedical Center initiated a monthlystroke support group that is enjoyingcommunity-wide support. Carrigantalks often with civic organizations,conducts media interviews and isactive in raising funds to buildawareness of the stroke program.
“Her compassion anddetermination are inspiring many of our stroke patients not to give up,”Beth Anderson, USA Medical Center
administrator, said. “She providesmuch-needed encouragement tostroke patients and their families.”
Carrigan, who is also a registerednurse, recently was selected to serveon a statewide stroke prevention taskforce, thus sharing her compassionand expertise across the state. “Sheis a ‘hospital hero’ because she is adedicated teacher, motivator andclinician,” Anderson said.
Carrigan and Hodges wereamong 10 regional hospital employeesrecognized at a reception hosted bythe Southwest Alabama RegionalHospital Council of the AlabamaHospital Association. It was one ofseven regional awards presentationsheld as part of the association’s sixthannual statewide “Hospital Heroes”contest, which honors the dedicationof hospital employees and highlightshealth careers.
The contest culminates inFebruary when one overall winnerfrom each region will be recognized.
