KINGSFORD — HCR ManorCare nurse supervisor Agnes Dabb has been chosen as first skilled nursing Great Lakes Division Champion.

“I congratulate her for embodying the spirit of caring we value in interactions with patients, families and fellow employees,” said Rami Ubaydi, vice president and general manager of HCR’s skilled nursing Great Lakes Division.

Dabb had been with ManorCare in Kingsford for nine years and in that time has been named her center’s monthly Champion of Caring four times and was named the center’s Champion of Caring for the year 2015.

She advanced from a certified nursing assistant to registered nurse and also serves as a nurse preceptor, providing excellent job training and support for new nurses.

She often picks up shifts or remains past her shift and has filled in as a nurse’s aide in times of need. She has been mentioned in many post-discharge thank you cards, customer satisfaction surveys and patient testimonials.

A pizza party on all three shifts was held in her honor. Dabb also received a $500 cash award.

HCR ManorCare has taken the recognition a step higher in launching a program that on a quarterly basis will honor a Champion of Caring for each of our seven operating divisions, one of whom will be named an HCR ManorCare Champion of Caring, a national champion chosen from among 50,000 employees across all service lines.
