Below are those named to this month’s Internal Medicine Honor Roll—an employee recognition program where team members (providers, staff, etc.) can recognize other team members who are doing great things.
We are pleased to recognize their contributions!
Brooke Harrison, Nurse Practitioner
Immunology
Nominated by Ben Davis, Judy Streit, and Danielle Allen
Earlier this year, Brooke stepped into the brand-new role of APP Lead for Immunology and Infectious Diseases. From the start, she’s taken the time to meet with key stakeholders and resources, ask thoughtful questions, and follow up to learn more. She represents the APPs from both divisions with care and is always thinking about how we can best support the team. We’re so grateful for the energy and dedication she brings to this role and excited to see how she continues to shape it over time.
Sherrie Cooling, Clerk III
Hospital Medicine
Nominated by Jeydith Gutierrez
Sherrie is such an important part of our Hospital Medicine division. Not only she is very knowledgeable and always helpful to our providers, but recently she has taken a deep dive into resolving recurrent issues with first contact and team assignment in Epic and On-Call Finder. She has taken upon herself to ensure the information is corrected quickly when there is a mistake, and even volunteered to change her hours so she could ensure teams are correctly assigned first thing in the morning. What she has done is so meaningful and critical for patient safety. We are so happy to have her on our team.

Bobby Wolfe, Nurse Practitioner
Hospital Medicine
Nominated by Kevin Glenn
The intern informed me about a concern about the stability of one of his patients, so we agreed to see this patient first the following morning. When we got there, Bobby was outside the patient’s room getting ready to enter because he had been concerned upon reviewing the patient’s labs and vitals as a member of the ERT team. No rapid had been called he was just concerned about how the patient was doing. Together the three of us examined the patient and because of Bobby’s experience with point of care ultrasound, he POCUS’d the patient and explained to the intern what he was seeing, providing valuable education and the clinical importance of each finding. Bobby also participated in the discussion of the patient’s condition and suggestions for next steps and possible consequences. Bobby went above and beyond the call by providing valuable teaching both didactically and by setting an example for how to have a professional discussion regarding patient outcomes and status. I’d be happy and proud to work with Bobby any day.
