"Her care of patients is outstanding in every way. But what distinguishes Sandi in my mind is her spirit," said Dr. Vicky Prager. In a department as fast-paced as Health Services, co-workers describe her as being "upbeat, vibrant and full of life. Her daily jokes lighten up even the most difficult days. She inspires her staff to learn to perform well and enjoy the workplace, making the most daunting tasks fun."

Please join us in congratulating Sandi and thank her for making such a difference.

As the STAR of the Month, Sandi will enjoy four free lunches on campus and a free parking pass or equivalent in one month's public transportation costs. She will also be eligible for the STAR of the Year award.
