Rockdale Medical Center named unit clerk Orin McGowan as its Employee of the Year in a ceremony held Wednesday afternoon.
McGowan has worked with RMC for 12 years since moving to Covington from San Jose, California. McGowan, a husband and a father of three girls, described himself as a shy person who was a bit embarassed by being the center of attention.
"It's just an honor," he said after the ceremony. "I think everyone deserves to be selected, all the employees of the month."
Kylie Rowlands, a registered nurse, was named the recipient of the Mercy Award from LifePoint Hospitals, which recognizes community service and was named after the company's founder Scott Mercy. She will be entered into a contest against Mercy Award winners from all LifePoint Hospitals.
