EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTHNancy Sawyer, Scheduling Coordinator for the Outpatient Ambulatory Care Department at Stoughton's , has been named the Sinai's Employee of the Month for October.

The Sinai Employee of the Month is chosen from nominations made by hospital staff, patients, and family members. Nominees demonstrate a “Sinai Cares” philosophy in their everyday work lives and are known for a high level of service, integrity and leadership. A committee of administrators and employees makes the final selection from those nominated.  

According to those who work with her, Nancy is consistently positive, upbeat and innovative. She enjoys going the extra mile on a daily basis and loves being part of the team.

She truly treats patients like family and responds to their concerns and needs with kindness and warmth. Nancy works hard to accommodate their unique scheduling requirements and reassure them that they will be well cared for.

Nancy’s supervisor Ralph Colangelo, Administrative Director of Rehabilitation and Ambulatory Care Services, says, “Nancy’s smile, sense of humor, can-do attitude, and commitment to the Department and our patients, make her a joy to have in the office.”

She has been with Sinai since 2006. Previous to that, she served sixteen years in the dental field as a Dental Assistant. 

She and her husband John both attended together. She tells About Town, "We graduated from Stoughton High School together but we did not really know one another then. We ran into each other 10 years later, dated for 9 months and recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary."
