Medical Staff Recognition - April 2023

Provider of the Month - April 2023
Allison Warmington, PA-C, General & Specialty Surgery 

Congratulations to Allison Warmington, PA-C, a provider in our General & Specialty Surgery Clinic and our April 2023 Provider of the Month! See what her colleagues had to say:

--“We had a patient outside the clinic laying down and unresponsive. She was in the middle of a meeting and immediately stepped in once she heard the patient was not responding. It did turn out the patient was ok, a little out of it, but ok. It was awesome to see her step in and control the situation. Other team members also stepped up, but Allison stepped up quickly and commanded the situation.  She always acknowledges everyone in clinic, wishes them a good day. Truly leads by example and she seems to have a lot of knowledge within the VMC system.” 
--“Allison is amazing with patients and a joy to have in the clinic. Her contagious smile and laughter can light up a room.”
--“She’s always willing to listen and help whether it’s an IT issue or a patient concern."
--“We’ve had a few emergency situations in the clinic this last year, and Allison has been there for each one keeping staff calm and leading without hesitation. She handles the pressure well and knows what to do!"
--“She’s able to connect with patients and make them feel comfortable with ease.”
--“The only negative thing I have to say about Allison is that I wish we had her in clinic more!”
