PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center’s board of commissioners and CEO Eric Lewis recently recognized five employees at its board meeting in the hospital’s Linkletter Hall.

Lewis praised employees Kim Bedinger, OMP Specialty Clinic; Anna Hansen and Steve Holm, clinical informatics and applications; Cindy Runnion, physical therapy and rehabilitation; and JoAnne Ross, Home Health, for their outstanding efforts — much of it behind the scenes, according to a news release.

“Taking care of patients is the heart of what we do, but we cannot do that without employees working in the background, making things go,” Lewis said.

“These employees support patients, physicians and staff, and their work allows us to operate efficiently and cost-effectively.”
