Nurse Annette Baldree in the Ambulatory Surgery Unit, was named Employee of the Month for November at Lake Wales Medical Center, and Jon Kilpatrick, receiving distribution clerk, was chosen as Employee of the Month for December.

Baldree has worked at LWMC since August 2000. In nominating her, a co-worker wrote, “Annette has done a tremendous job taking on the PICC (peripherally inserted central catheters) line program and getting it up to speed. She is always willing to pick up shifts when others are not able to and is always willing to train new staff on PICC lines. She is always willing to go the extra mile and encourage staff to take on new challenges.”
