Kacey Klink – Emergency Department Tech
"I would like to nominate Kacey Klink for Values Ambassador on behalf of Jennifer Light and our ED Charge Nurses. I regularly receives kudos for her in always performing well on our team, and advocating for our patients and community. She has volunteered to represent AGH at the Indian River High School Healthcare Careers events for several years and organized the ED table at this year’s Ocean City Convention Center Health Fair 2023. Kacey is our primary preceptor for new NT hires in the ED, performs all dietary and supply ordering, and makes great suggestions to streamline our ED processes. She thrives in our busy summer season, as evidenced by Jen Light’s feedback from a recent charge shift:
Just letting you know, Kacey really deserves premium pay!! (she was the only 7a tech on a busy day). She reads the department, knows how to move patients, anticipates needs and literally hustles her butt off! I can’t say enough, we had some really sick patients today!'"
