Highland Park woman receives. I
a ard at anniversary
Wanda McPherson first
began working at Detroit Os­
teopathic Hospital as a dietary
aide on May 5, 1969. After 20
years in the Food and Nutrition
Services Department she can
easily say that it "feels like fami­
ly here."
Her years of dedication are
one of the reasons she was
named the January Employee of
the Month at DOH, 12523 Third
Avenue, Highland Park.
When asked about why she
won the award she says, "I don't
really know. I don't feel I'm bet­
ter than anyone else. We all
work together as a team so
everyone else deserves credit,
too."
She says she enjoys the
togetherness of the department
and the hospital because that
makes her job easier.
Her job involves delivering
patient meal trays and working
in the kitchen. McPherson says
that she likes getting to know the
patients and helping out when
she can.
McPherson lives in Highland
Park with her husband and two
children. She enjoys rollerskat­
ing, reading and church ac­
tivities.
