Havre, Montana - This week NMHC presented the C.A.R.E. Award to Jessica Sheehy, PA-C, a member of the Family Medicine Team at the Northern Montana Family Medical Center. Jessica has worked at NMHC for 5 years.

Jessica was nominated for the honor by one of her co-workers. This co-worker had also had the opportunity to be a patient of Jessica's at the Family Medical Center. "Jessica has seen several of my family members recently," stated the nominator. "She was especially caring with my child who was feeling very ill with what turned out to be the flu. She makes the child feel at ease while reassuring the parent also."

Customer Service is important to Northern Montana Health Care. "Being the healthcare provider of choice" is part of their mission statement. Taking the time to recognize excellence in their employees is one of the ways they try to achieve this goal.
