Davis

recognized

best in state

Archbold

Memorial Hospital

employee Linda

Davis was recently

named Georgia’s

Histotechnician

of the Year by the

Georgia Society of

Histotechnology.

Histology is a

science dealing

with the structure

of cells and their

formation into tis-

sues and organs.

Histotechnicians prepare tissue samples

and analyze them for abnormalities and

diseases. They operate equipment and

work with an assortment of dyes and

chemicals to make tissue abnormalities

visible under a microscope. A strong

knowledge of chemistry, biology, anat-

omy, physiology and medical terminol-

ogy is essential to performing this job

accurately.

“I was extremely honored to win this

award,” said Linda Davis. “During my time

at Archbold, I have been able to advance in

my field, and this award provides validation

that I am good at my job.”

Davis is a 35-year Archbold employee

and the lead histotechnician in the hos-

pital’s laboratory department. She was

selected based on her leadership, dedica-

tion and service to the profession.

“Linda is an active learner and a

stabilizing force that consistently brings

her best to our department,” said Karen

Clark, Archbold histology supervisor. “Her

commitment to patient care is conta-

gious. We’re thrilled the society chose

to recognize her efforts as a statewide

leader in our field, and as the Georgia

Histotechnician of the Year.”

GGH receives UNB donation

Grady General Hospital (GGH) recently

received a generous donation of

100 blankets from the staff at United

National Bank of Grady County.

The blankets will be distributed to

patients in GGH’s medical/surgical

department as a way to make them

more comfortable during their stay.

“Community partners are vital to

the success of our business,” said Mike

Chastain, CEO at United National Bank.

“We are honored to have the oppor-

tunity to give back to our hospital,

because they help so many people in

our community on a daily basis.”

“Grady County is our home, and

Grady General Hospital is part of that

home,” said Linda Drew Johnson, Vice

President at United National Bank. 

“Grady General does so much for

everyone in this community, and this is

our way of saying thank you.”

“Grady General is very fortunate

to have the support of many local

businesses, including United National

Bank,” said Crystal Ramm, GGH

Administrator. “We’re very grateful for

our friends at UNB, and their donation

will have a positive impact on so many

of our patients.”

Hospital’s Glenn-

Mor Nursing Home

of Georgia accred-

itation survey

the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) on quality of care, resident

safety, nursing care and administration. Glenn-Mor scored better than the average

nursing home state- and nationwide.

dedication they have to providing our residents with the top level of quality care

and service.” In addition, Glenn-Mor also recently received the American Health
