McFarland Clinic's Trusted Choice Excellent Employee Award is given to an individual who
displays excellence in his or her work and demonstrates the McFarland Clinic's service
standards daily. The 2012 recipient of this award is Lynn Lanning, Oncology Services Director.
Lynn was chosen from 18 nominees to represent our excellent McFarland employees and was
nominated by Dr. Michael Guffy. Dr. Guffy shares with us on why he chose to nominate
Lynn for this award. Lynn demonstrates excellence in her job in virtually every way. And again,
I'd come back to she has this ability, again, to make other people do their job better,
and not by demanding that but more by example. And so, she's always been extremely professional.
She's extremely kind. She cares about patients. She cares about the organization, and that
rubs off on everybody else in our department. Lynn describes what she felt when she was
being recognized with the Employee Excellence Award and what it means to her. My reaction
to winning the Employee Excellence Award was, I think my first reaction was, I was very
humbled by the experience. It's a little overwhelming when you're not expecting it, and then you
have a group of people that are waiting there and give you that award in the department
in which you work. I think when I looked around the room and I saw that, you know, people
from Administration, from Human Resources, some of my oncologists that I've worked with
for a long time, and some of my staff. I think I looked around and I thought, you know, with
this kind of a team that I work with every day, how can you not be excellent in the job
that you do? What I enjoy the most about my position here at McFarland Clinic is, first
and foremost, is the interactions and caring for patients. That's why I became a nurse
and, specifically, an Oncology nurse over 30 years ago. And that still is the most rewarding
day that I have, is a day that involves some direct patient care. Lynn Lanning really has
been, really the heart and soul of our department. She's just been an excellent role model for
everything that I think our clinic, our organization, should strive to be. Please join us in congratulating
Lynn for her recognition as a 2012 Trusted Choice Award recipient and thanking for her
efforts as an excellent employee.
