February 20, 2008
Stormy Dismuke from Albertville, an employee of Hospice of Marshall County (HMC), was honored recently by being named the Hospice of Marshall County 2007 Employee of the Year.

Candidates for this award were nominated by their co-workers. A panel of volunteers reviews the letters of recommendation submitted by co-workers and prepares a ballot from all nominations. In nominating Dismuke for this award, her co-workers cite her willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done by stating, “Stormy is a great representation of HMC. She has taken on at least three different positions and has done a great job.” One co-worker wrote “she truly cares for all of our patients and wants what is best for them.” Another co-worker praised her for being a positive, faithful advocate for all of her employees.

Recognition for Employee of the year started in 1996. This provides recognition to a deserving employee by their co-workers that they felt excelled in many areas. All employees are given the opportunity to submit written nominations. The staff then is extended the opportunity to vote on a nominee of their choice.

Dismuke has been an employee with HMC since 1999 and held a number of positions during her employment; on-call RN, staff RN, Infection Control Nurse, Performance Improvement Assistant, and Utilization Review Coordinator. She currently serves in the position of Clinical Manager. She and her family live in Crossville and are active members of New Home Baptist Church.
