Video vignettes that were shown at last week's Leadership Assembly are now available on a YouTube playlist. Each video is less than a minute long, and features Vanderbilt Health employees speaking about their jobs and how what they do connects to patients and to other employees.

The featured employees are:

  • Linda Bell, patient care technician at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbit, who remembers her first day at Vanderbilt Health like it was yesterday. Now, 24 years later, she says of her job working with children: "The reward is really mine. I'm there to help them but they are really helping me." 
  • Troy Driver, supervisor in Nutrition Services, who says he's been cooking for 25 years. He sees his role as a supervisor in food services as helping those he works with. "Happy servers, happy customers. If you can help somebody, help them. That's what we do."
  • Aaron Hirsch, nursing supervisor on the ninth floor of VUAH. He says Vanderbilt was the first place he applied after nursing school and this has been his professional home ever since. "I am proud to work at Vanderbilt because I believe in the work that we do. We have a strong staff. They are committed to the patient and they are committed to each other. There is nowhere else I'd rather work."
  • Jamye O'Neal, laboratory manager in the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. She and her colleagues in one of the many research laboratories at Vanderbilt Health have a big job: to stay one step ahead of cancer for patients. "Everyone understands the mission," she says of the collaborative spirit at Vanderbilt. "It all bubbles up to help the patient."
  • Robert Miller, MD, Patricia and Rodes Hart Professor of Medicine. Vanderbilt has been Miller's "home" since 1980. He has been a student, a resident physician, a pulmonology fellow, a teacher and a clinician. "Patients are in a vulnerable position," he says about what motivates him every day. "It is really an honor, privilege and a source of enjoyment serve them."
