Health Aides of the Month
Marlene Philip and Justina Phillip of Tuluksak
The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation's Community Health Aide Program recognizes Marlene Phillip and Justina Phillip of Tuluksak as the June 2008 Health Aides of the Month.
Marlene Phillip is a Community Health Aide Practitioner and has worked for YKHC for five years. She exhibits exceptional customer service and works closely with physicians to diagnose and treat health care needs.
Recently Marlene completed a Well Child exam on a two-year old who she discovered had abnormal height and weight, which led to further examination by a Pediatrician.
"Her attention to detail and diligent work, make her an excellent provider," said Martha Attie, Supervisor Instructor. "Marlene is a lead Health Aide and is motivated, energetic, and a hard worker. Keep up the excellent work!"
Justina Phillip was hired in November 2006 as a Community Health Aide and is currently trained as a Level 3. Her compassion for the sick coupled with her love of meeting new people has allowed her to become a stand-out Health Aide.
"She has complete Patient Encounter Forms and uses her Community Health Aide Manual and training guides regularly," Attie continued. "Justina performs well under pressure and will work on difficult skills until she masters them. Congratulations on all of your hard work, Justina!"
Both Health Aides were honored at a July 8 luncheon at the Tuluksak clinic.
The Health Aide workforce represents the sustainability of health care in the YK Delta. Each month, YKHC awards special recognition to an outstanding Health Aide; this is the third award presented this year.
