JEFFERSON, Iowa – Greene County Medical Center’s annual recognition awards’ ceremony was held Wednesday, March 22 in the main lobby. Radiology Tech, Heather Booth was presented with the 2022 Van Zelderen Excellence Award. The celebration also honored the 10 Team Members nominated for the Van Zelderen Excellence Award as well as 14 who marked milestone anniversaries.

The Van Zelderen Excellence Award is a peer award. Fellow team members make nominations for those who exemplify the Greene County Medical Center PRIDE values of Patient-Centered Care, Respect, Integrity, Dedication and Empathy and have been instrumental in enhancing the patient experience.

Booth’s nominator wrote, “I had my first mammogram in 2022, and Heather was my tech. Heather did a phenomenal job of making me feel comfortable and explaining every step of the exam. Heather’s care goes above and beyond just the mammogram itself, she genuinely wants patients to take a proactive role in their health and get the recommended screening. I have heard from several others who had an equally amazing experience during their mammograms with Heather. Her passion and pride in her work shines through every patient encounter. She is an excellent asset for Greene County Medical Center.” Booth has been a Greene County Medical Center Team Member for over 15 years.
