"What my job means to me"
|

With the economy uncertainties today, I feel very fortunate to work for an employer who consistantly places high
on the community's "best place to work list". We are always open and always busy. Job security is very important to me
and I have that here. The motto we are family is true. I spend alot of time working here and I love my coworkers. They
are a diverse group of people and each brings a unique perspective and talent to this organization. I am a better person
for this experience!

My job in Health Information Management is to ensure that patient information is accurate, visible and correctly
labeled on patients medical records. My job is very important to me because it deals with the accuracy of patients
permanent medical records which is extremely important so I make sure it's correct. I enjoy working at West Jefferson
Medical Center; this is my second home, it feels like we're a family here. Our department continuously learns new
things and faces challenges but we stick together and get through the tough times together; that's what makes West
Jefferson Medical Center special. And it's proven because we rank in the top 100 places to work!

My job means peace of mind. There is no greater gift than the gift of life. When you have a positive influence on the
outcome of a patient, whether it appears grim or a simple dilemma, it gives you satisfaction knowing that you have made a
difference. It is the reason that we all got into this profession and what keeps us going; the satisfaction of knowing that
we did something wonderful for those in their time of need.
When we go into a patient's home, we are invited into
their lives. Most of the time it is not just the patients that need us, it may be the family members that have exhausted all
of their means to take care of their loved ones. It is times like these where I am truly proud to be a Paramedic.

I have been a part of the West Jefferson Medical Center family for almost 18 years. From my early time in the Newborn
Nursery/NICU to my present position as Perinatal Educator/Outreach Liaison, I have always been extremely happy here. I have
been blessed with supervisors who have always been approachable and supportive. I love the dynamics of Maternity nursing and
am proud of the advances our Unit has made into the 21st century. Today we are one of only two hospitals in the City who offer
the water birth option. We have one of the largest prenatal education programs in New Orleans and the only hospital in the
area to offer teen specific prenatal classes and also prenatal classes in Spanish. All of this has been made possible because
of our team committment to giving back to the people who live here. WJMC has a reputation for being the premier West Bank
hospital, a visible presence at many public events and an integral part of Health Care in this Community.I will always be
grateful for the opportunity to grow in my career at West Jeff. It is truly my home away from home.

"Why I Love working at West Jeff"
|
|
I began working in the Pediatric ER as a unit/registration clerk in August 2004. I loved my job and I put 110%
into my work and strived to make my job fun; and it was. The time came when I decided that since my children were older
it was time for me to make a life altering change and go back to school. Here I am with my degree in Respiratory Therapy,
and when I go to work, I go to work with a smile. My second family is at West Jefferson Medical Center, because without
my friends in the Peds ER and Respiratory Department I would never have achieved my life long wish to graduate from college.
Now I have an exciting career in Respiratory Therapy.
