Allen Brannen was named the June Employee of the Month at East Georgia Regional Medical Center.

Director of Marketing Jaime Riggs made the announcement in an email.

An engineer in Plant Operations, Brannen has been part of the team at EGRMC for over seven years. 

Brannen was nominated by his colleagues for his dedication, responsiveness and commitment to providing quality service and his positive attitude while supporting his fellow plant operations team members. 

Brannen’s supervisor, Director Mike Motes, said: “Allen is an exemplary employee; with a fairly new staff, Allen has stepped up in leadership in the last few years and has become my number two team member. He has a sense of ownership of the building and makes our safety and efficiency top priority. He takes calls often and is always just a phone call away for any of his teammates when they need help. 

“He doesn't hesitate to come in even when he is not on call. I can always rely on him to be available in a bind. During the absence of our secretary, he has owned taking on that responsibility and has done so well. He strives to learn all aspects of his duties and my supervisor responsibilities so he can fill in for me when I take off.”

“He jumps in to do whatever he is asked to do no matter how miniscule, whether it's unclogging a toilet, moving furniture, helping an employee with a flat tire, or just needing his muscles! He always has a great attitude and is responsive to anyone who calls him. Plant Operations could not function without his expertise, enthusiasm, and sense of ownership. He cares about this building and the people in it,” stated EGRMC leadership.

"Allen is an invaluable member of our team," said EGRMC CEO, Stephen Pennington. "He exemplifies our mission by consistently supporting our staff and ensuring we deliver quality healthcare in an efficient, safe, and compassionate environment to every patient, every time, always."
