November 3, 2003

While Lee Memorial Health System (LMHS) continues its journey to be the best patient-centered healthcare system in the state of Florida, nationally others are starting to take notice. On Tuesday, November 4th, The Herman Group, of Greensboro, North Carolina, will award its prestigious designation of Employer of Choice®, to LMHS officials. This award recognizes an organization's dedication to a higher level of employee commitment that assures customer loyalty and satisfaction. LMHS is one of four healthcare delivery systems in the nation to receive this honor. (Visit http://employerofchoice.com to view employers recognized).

What does it mean to be named an Employer of Choice®? "Employers of Choice, such as Lee Memorial Health System, who are able to attract, optimize, and retain top talent, will enjoy a substantial tactical advantage over their competitors," says Roger Herman, chief executive officer of Employer of Choice, Inc. "They will have the knowledge, experience, resiliency, and power to respond quickly to their patient's needs, delivering what patients want more efficiently and effectively than competitors plagued by employee turnover. This strength will allow them to maintain high levels of customer service and loyalty."

Jim Nathan, LMHS President, is thrilled with this news and said "Lee Memorial Health System is recognized across the nation as a leader in healthcare and it's because of our employees - we do attract the best of the best and it is their talent and compassion that maintains our high level of service, and I thank them, each and every one. I hope this community is proud of their healthcare professionals and realizes the value these professionals give to their community every day."

Mr. Herman, who holds the trademark, Employer of Choice®, was a guest at the regular meeting of the Lee County Board of County Commissioners, Tuesday, November 4, when Commissioners presented a Resolution to Jim Nathan, President, and to Linda Brown, Chairman of the Board, in honor of the Employer of Choice award and the 100 Top Hospitals award which designates each one of the Lee Memorial's hospitals as one of the 100 Top Hospitals in the Nation. Mr. Herman thanked the Commissioners for their support of LMHS and gave accolades to Jim Nathan, his leadership team and staff, which includes physicians, auxilians, volunteers, and employees.

Mr. Herman also met with the local Human Resources folks and other professionals at a ceremony at HealthPark Medical Center to talk about how to establish an employee-centered culture in their organization, how to help their employees make a difference, and how to engage employees in meaningful work.

VHA executives Lilee Gelinas, RN, MSN, Vice President, Chief Nursing Officer and Steve Marmuek, Senior Director, joined Mr. Herman at the Commission meeting and at HealthPark to extend congratulations to LMHS staff and to local community leaders.

Lee Memorial Health System (LMHS) is a progressive, financially sound health care provider with more than 5700 employees, 2500 volunteers and Auxilians, and more than 800 physicians on staff.
