January Employees of the Month
We are excited to announce that:
Amy Dasilva and Alyssa Costa are the January Employees of the Month!
Amy has been with SSTAR for over 2 years!
Amy is a care coordinator in the Community Partners Program here at SSTAR. Amy has shared her own story and journey through the SSTAR programs. Amy is bright, warm and committed, always putting her clients first. She finds ways to make the system work to get what each individual needs and does it in a way that empowers those she serves. Amy participates in the extra community activities offered by the CP and engages with her clients in a way that has resulted in progress in many arenas of their lives. She is professional, kind and considerate. Most recently Amy used her own story to present at a meeting highlighting the success and outcomes of the CP program at SSTAR to 14 managers and administrators from Mass Health. Her courage and conviction made an incredible impression on those present and she and the CP leadership left an incredible impression of the value of the program
This is why Amy is an excellent choice for Employee of the Month!
Alyssa has been with SSTAR for 1 ½ years!
Alyssa is the admissions nurse at the inpatient. She is noted by the staff on inpatient to go above and beyond prioritizing the most acute clients to get them up on the floor and comfortable. She responds to all client concerns including working with those that enter through rapid access helping them to make a smooth transition. She is always patient, kind and understanding providing a listening ear to the clients as they are going through the process. One day recently she became aware of an MAT client who needed admission and came in early the next day to make certain that everything was ready to make sure that there were sufficient staff to do the admission in the required timeframe. Clients often mention that she is attentive and she almost always wears a smile. She works well with her colleagues and is a valued part of the inpatient team.
Alyssa is a great choice for January Employee of the Month!
