🎉 Let's celebrate our newest Employee of the Month: Miss Brandi Nash!! 🎉

During staffing challenges, Brandi has been incredibly helpful as new employees were being oriented to the clinic. She has been flexible in working Lab, the clinic floor, and the phone room while assisting in training Megan and Betheny in these areas. 🏥📞

Brandi is always willing to help and offer a friendly smile to patients. 😊 Patients especially love it when they see Brandi in the lab. Brandi has a feisty, inquisitive nature and is quick to offer suggestions as needed.🧪💡

TLLC is very lucky to have an MA such as Brandi Nash! 🌟
Congratulations Brandi!
