Pardee UNC Health Care named Myrana Roberson and Jay Jackson its Team Members of the Year for 2019 and 2020, respectively. 

The 2019 announcement and usual team member celebration were delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. Both team members were celebrated in May at Pardee’s service awards banquet. 

2019 Team Member of the Year, Patient Liaison Myrana Roberson works in Pardee’s Emergency Department. She was named Team Member of the Month for September in 2019 and has been with Pardee for 13 years. As stated by a patient who called to praise Roberson, “she advocates for patients and goes out of her way to care for them.” Coworkers add that Roberson is supportive and lends a helping hand whenever she can. “She is gentle and kind and truly loves her job.”

2020 Team Member of the Year Jay Jackson is a cook with Nutrition Services. His fellow workers and nominators note that Jay “never misses any time from scheduled work, but on the contrary, volunteers to come in on any of his days off to help out his team anytime there is a need.” Complimented by staff and visitors alike for his professional, yet friendly, warm personality, Jackson is known to put “everyone at ease…even on busy days.”

“Both Myrana and Jay demonstrate what it means to be an outstanding Team Member and are very deserving of this recognition,” said Jay Kirby, president and CEO of Pardee UNC Health Care. “We are fortunate to have them both as valued members of our organization.”
