Jamestown Regional Medical Center (JRMC) recently announced Linda Guthmiller as its most recent Legend Award recipient.
The Legend Award is the most prestigious distinction for a JRMC employee, recognizing those who exceed expectations and are THE difference in the lives of those they serve.
Guthmiller, a Nutrition Technologist, works in JRMC’s Nutrition Services department. She was nominated for JRMC’s Legend Award by Nutrition Services Manager, Emily Allen.
“Linda is the kind of person that everyone loves to work with,” Allen wrote in her nomination. “She is phenomenal at what she does, she is professional, has an exceptionally kind attitude and takes great pride in her work.”
Guthmiller first began working at JRMC 44 years ago and has since become known as a cornerstone in her department. As a primary part of her role, Guthmiller plans and produces patient meals based on specific, individual dietary guidelines to ensure patients are getting optimal nutrition that meets their needs. Her expertise in dietary supervision supports JRMC in providing top-tier medical care.
Her years of experience and wealth of knowledge are valued by her coworkers, who praise her ability to calmly handle unexpected challenges during her busy day and willingness to guide her team.
“The years of knowledge that Linda brings to our team and our hospital are invaluable,” shared Allen. “Every day that we can come to work and see Linda assures us that our patients are in the most competent hands.”
As a seven-time winner of Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work, JRMC offers a supportive and rewarding work environment where employees can truly be THE difference in the lives of those they serve. Guthmiller’s willingness to go above and beyond models these traits and contributed to her peers’ selection of her as JRMC’s latest Legend.
About the Legend Award
A legend is not created in a day. It takes consistent commitment to performing with selfless purpose. A legend commits every day — without concern for recognition — to being irreplaceable. JRMC employees nominate one another for the honor; voted on by the 350 medical center team members.
The purpose of the Legend Award is to inspire, motivate and capture the moments that define JRMC. The goal is to help employees and volunteers connect to the sense of purpose that brought them to the organization. This award is for employees who’ve made extreme efforts to benefit their patients and colleagues.
The Legend Award first began in 2012. Since then, employees have named more than 50 individuals as Legends and nominated nearly 150.
