WATSON CLINIC ANNOUNCES MARCH PEER AWARD WINNER
     Watson Clinic is proud to recognize one outstanding employee per month for the Program for Employee Excellence and Recognition (PEER) award. The PEER Award is given to a Clinic employee who best reflects the patient-focused customer service standards that Watson Clinic strives to excel at every day. The following employee was recognized for the most recent month:
Laura Wright
Laura Wright was named the March recipient of the PEER award. Wright is an LPN and works in Dr. James Belarmino's Urology office at the Main Clinic. Wright has been with the Clinic for 1 1/2 years and does her job with a positive energy and never makes the patient feel rushed. Even though Wright has not been with the Clinic long, she is a role model for customer service. As a PEER award winner, Wright received a plaque, dinner at a local restaurant, a reserved parking spot and a free service from Watson Clinic’s Bella Vista Spa to acknowledge her contributions to the organization.
