On February 21, 2017, Dr. Adres Molina, Nurse Angela McLeod, and Nurse Robert Fowler received a certificate of recognition for providing exceptional healthcare at GEO’s Blackwater River Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility (BRCRF).
Executive Vice President of Health Services, Dr. Ernesto Alvarez, awarded the certificates via teleconference and thanked the staff for the outstanding job they executed. At BRCRF, under the guidance of the Health Services Administrator Dana McGowan, medical staff recognize first and foremost they are healthcare providers.
Their mission is to deliver safe, effective, and proficient healthcare services using best practices. With a Chronic Care Clinic case load of approximately 1,300 inmates, it is not an easy task to give each inmate the individualized time required. BRCRF medical staff pulled together as a team and their hard work was recognized when an inmate wrote to GEO's Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Dr. George C. Zoley, about his care at BRCRF.
He wrote,“Dr. Molina performed a procedure to relieve the accumulation of blood in my right thumb. I encountered several medical personnel that were attentive to my concerns about getting an infection, as well as the pain and severe discomfort that the injury caused my thumb. They did everything possible to address all my concerns and alleviate the pain that caused the severe discomfort to my right thumb. I was treated with both respect and dignity. I was provided with exemplary medical attention.”
The medical staff at the facility do not work for praise, as they simply are dedicated to their jobs. For those who have spent time working in corrections, you are well aware a thank you is scarce, making them all the more special when received.
