TMH Launches HealthCare Hero Award with Prime Meridian Bank

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) recently announced the Prime Meridian Healthcare Hero Award, a new colleague recognition made possible by a generous endowment gift from Prime Meridian Bank. The award honors TMH colleagues who consistently embody TMH’s ICARE values of Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence in their daily work.

The endowment will ensure that TMH colleagues will continue to be recognized for years to come. The press release states that the “gift reflects Prime Meridian Bank’s deep commitment to supporting the healthcare needs of the community and recognizing the invaluable role TMH colleagues play in delivering exceptional patient care.”

The Prime Meridian HealthCare Hero Award will be presented quarterly to colleague(s) nominated by patients, colleagues or visitors for going above and beyond to provide high-quality, compassionate care. Award recipients will receive formal recognition from TMH leadership and a financial award.

Eddrie Moore, a member of TMH’s Guest Services team, was recently recognized with the inaugural Prime Meridian HealthCare Hero Award after receiving multiple nominations celebrating “the compassion and kindness she shows every patient, visitor and colleague who enters the Laurie L. Dozier, Jr., MD Atrium.”

“We are incredibly grateful to Prime Meridian Bank for their generous support and commitment to recognizing our exceptional colleagues like Eddrie,” said Nigel Allen, President and Chief Advancement Officer of the TMH Foundation. “This gift will not only honor the hard work and dedication of our colleagues but also inspire others to strive for excellence in their service to our patients and community. It means so much to our organization to know that community partners like Prime Meridian Bank value the work that we do every day.”

Sammie D. Dixon, Jr., Vice Chairman, President and CEO of Prime Meridian Bank, is the chair-elect of the TMH Foundation Board of Trustees.

“Prime Meridian Bank is proud to partner with TMH in supporting their mission of providing world-class healthcare to our community,” he said. “We recognize the vital role every TMH colleague plays in delivering exceptional care, and we are honored to establish this award to celebrate their dedication and commitment. We cannot imagine a more worthy recipient of this award than Eddrie and are excited to recognize the individuals who provide the high quality, compassionate care patients and visitors expect when they visit TMH.”
