Warehouse Technician & Food Service Worker Kim Honored as Employee of the Month

Warehouse Technician & Food Service Worker Kim has received North Oaks Health System's Employee of the Month Award for July 2021.

Kim began her North Oaks career in 2002 working in the Laundry. In 2006, she joined the Radiology team as a Support Assistant and became a Patient Transport Assistant in 2011. She transferred to the Material Services department in 2015, where she has worked as an Inventory Control Clerk, Dispensing Technician and her current role of Warehouse Technician. She also assists in Nutritional Services as a Food Service Worker.

"Helping others gives me purpose," shares Kim. 

This marks the second time that Kim has received North Oaks Employee of the Month recognition. In March 2017, she was first honored.

Kim is consistently among employees to volunteer the most hours with HOT Team, a program whereby staff give of their time off the clock at North Oaks- and community-sponsored events.

A native of Elkhart, Indiana, she graduated from Mishawaka High School in her home state. She lives in Robert and has two adult children, Mike and Ashley, and two grandchildren – 9-year-old Harleigh and 1-year-old Lucas.

Kim loves to be on or near water. Relaxing poolside, as well as riding jet skis and waterslides are some of her favorite outdoor activities.

“Kim is an exceptional employee with the most positive of attitudes," asserts Supply Chain Director Carol DeVault. "Every day, she lives beyond the scope of her job description. Whether delivering supplies to the floors, pulling food carts, or lending a helping hand to her coworkers, patients or visitors, Kim keeps going until the job gets done!”
