Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center employees are recognized for outstanding work every quarter. The hospital chooses to recognize those who demonstrate the qualities of a “TRAC STAR” – an acronym that stands for teamwork, recognition, attitude, customer service, safety, talent, accountability and respect.

In a ceremony Feb. 24, HRRMC CEO Bob Morasko recognized Devyn Kindall, interim clinics nurse manager as the TRAC STAR of  the Year for 2019 as well as two runners-up for the award, Chris Sanks and Molli Buchanan.

Kindall was selected by a staff-wide vote from a pool of 12 award candidates. Other nominees included Alaina Kelly, Beverly Mosca, Kris Clark, Kris Hagan, Kurt Sedlacek, Lillie Jones, Marci Goings, Sam Van De Velde and Tom O’Brien.

Vice President of Business Development Peter Edis said that Kindall joined HRRMC’s staff in 2016, and has been the interim clinics nurse manager for about four months. “She is a highly skilled nurse, and through her interim work as a manager, her leadership skills have grown considerably. Her flexibility and readiness to lend a helping hand exemplify the values of a true TRAC STAR,” he said.

Sanks, a Facilities maintenance tech, has been with HRRMC since 2017. The coworker who nominated Sanks said that he shows respect to everyone he encounters, patients and co-workers alike.

Buchanan, a CNA/unit coordinator in the Medical/Surgical Department, has worked for HRRMC since 2016. Her nominator said, she “graciously greets all co-workers, visitors, families and patients and makes them feel welcome.”

CEO Bob Morasko awarded $1,000 to Kindall. She will also receive a plaque with her photo, to be displayed in the hospital café. Sanks and Buchanan were each awarded $250.
