Jacob Frady, a Certified Medical Assistant at Midway Medical Center, was honored by his fellow employees with the Midway Star Award.  Dr. Carolyn Ramsey presented the award to Frady on behalf of the Midway Executive Committee.

The Midway Star Award was created to recognize employees who rise above the duties assigned to them.  Recipients are chosen by fellow employees based on their teamwork skills and contributions to the overall success of Midway.  Frady’s coworkers had the following to say:

• “Jake is always willing to lend a hand, and he’s always upbeat. Whenever I’m in a pinch to get something done, he’s right there ready to help, and he never makes me feel like I’m a bother to him. If he sees one of us is overwhelmed, he steps in without being asked. It’s a pleasure to work with him.”

• “He’s quietly working away.  Never draws attention to himself.  He helps everyone.

• “Jake is a rock star.  He reduces everyone’s stress with his great ability to help others. So glad he is at Midway!”

With the award, Frady earned a Midway Star pin, a $100 Ingles gift card, and additional respect and appreciation from the entire Midway staff.  In addition to his employment at Midway Medical Center, Frady is also enrolled at Southwestern Community College towards an additional health related degree.
