Pardee names Leader of the Quarter

Daren Carley

Daren Carley, director of laboratory services, was named Leader of the Quarter at UNC Health Pardee, the hospital announced.

In this role, Carley’s primary duties include planning, coordinating and supervising all functions within the lab including testing, training and staffing and ensuring the lab is providing high-quality services.

Carley, who recently celebrated one year at Pardee, said he chose the organization because of the people.

“My favorite part of my job is interacting with staff from his department and others across the system and talking with our patients,” he said, adding that he also enjoys the times when he gets to educate the younger generations as he interacts with high school students touring the lab. His colleagues describe Carley as helpful and approachable. "He has an open-door policy and when a problem arises he is on top of it,” one said. Those who nominated him praised Carley for leading by example. “When we are short-staffed, he comes onto the lab floor to help or steps in to assist with blood draws.”

The Leader of the Quarter award is given to a Pardee team member with a director or higher position. The recipient positively contributes to achieving the organization’s mission, vision and goals. The winners are selected by a committee of their peers and recognized for going above and beyond their regular duties to support patients, customers, peers, the organization and the community.
