 Circle of Excellence winners announced
Congratulations to the quarterly Circle of Excellence winners! These employees were nominated and selected by their fellow coworkers for exemplifying performance, goals, skills and qualities that highlight and promote the mission and vision of the district.
Ann Nutt, MSN, RN, Galveston County Health District
Ann’s nomination read, “Ann is extraordinary. She is kind, funny, compassionate, and she practices this with her patients. During COVID, Ann spent so much time working with MRC that we brought her on full time. At 70+ years young, she runs circles around those half her age, and all with a light-hearted smile on her face. She is one part of our incredibly successful and meaningful homebound team. She and the homebound team go above and beyond the call of providing COVID and flu vaccines to some of our most vulnerable populations - assisting with medication reconciliation, fall prevention, and LOTS of education. Her thoroughness and patience are exactly what our clients need! Ann and Team have saved several lives - calling physicians, specialists, and hospitals to get their patients the help they needed. Galveston County residents and the District are lucky to have someone like Ann's dedication and passion.”

Bailey Daniel, Galveston Area Ambulance Authority
Bailey’s nominations read, “Bailey Daniel GAAA When I deliver supplies, Bailey always jumps in to help me. I don't ask her to do it, she just dives right in and helps. She goes to great lengths to help make sure the supply room is clean and everything is put up in the right place where it belongs. With out her help, I would be there for hours upon hours, but with her help, it's cut down drastically, allowing me to get what I need to get done, and move on to the next station. For the year and a half that I have been here, she has always gone the extra mile to help out when she doesn't need to!”
“Bailey has demonstrated unwavering commitment, leadership, and a remarkable spirit of collaboration that sets her apart as an invaluable member of our team. In her role as Team Captain, Bailey has exhibited tremendous growth, showcasing not only a deep understanding of her responsibilities but also a genuine passion for mentoring others. She is consistently providing guidance and support to those around her. What really sets Bailey apart is her willingness to go above and beyond. Despite the demands of her role in responding to 911 calls, she never hesitates to lend a helping hand in various capacities within the department. Her ability to balance emergency response with a compassionate approach to team dynamics is truly commendable.”
