Registered Nurse
October 2025 Employee of the Month
Please join us in recognizing Tori Hunsicker, Registered Nurse at Graham County Hospital, as a nominee for October’s Employee of the Month! 🌟
Tori was nominated for going above and beyond her regular nursing duties. She has stepped in to cover shifts as an aide, worked beyond her scheduled hours, and always made sure our patients receive the very best care.
Her dedication, flexibility, and willingness to serve in any capacity needed highlight the true heart of nursing and the teamwork we value at GCH.
Supervisor Testimony:
💬 “I am proud to recognize the outstanding contributions Tori makes to our team. She consistently approaches her work with a positive attitude, dependability, and a strong sense of teamwork. She is always willing to step outside of her primary nursing role to make sure the needs of our patients and department are met. Just in the past month, she has gone above and beyond by covering call so I could spend time with my family, and by stepping in during staffing shortages—working as an aide and even assisting with housekeeping duties when needed. Tori exemplifies dedication, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to the success of our team. Her work ethic and willingness to support others never go unnoticed. She is truly a valuable asset, and I am so grateful to have her as part of our staff!”
Peer/Nominator Comment:
💬 “Tori stayed very late after her shift to ensure our patients were taken care of. She then came in early the next day to work as a nurse aide to complete coverage. She is amazing!
Thank you, Tori, for your exemplary commitment and for embodying the spirit of teamwork and compassion at Graham County Hospital! 💙
Each month, Graham County Hospital honors a team member who exemplifies our mission and values through exceptional performance, teamwork, and dedication to patient care.
Every member of our team plays a vital role in delivering quality healthcare to our community. We appreciate your dedication!
