SMITHFIELD — UNC Health Johnston has named Ginny Price its latest Ambassador of the Month. She is a secretary and monitor tech on second floor of the Clayton hospital.
During a recent presentation, CEO Tom Williams said Price knows how to make things happen. “She is professional, positive, polite and engaging,” he said. “During rounds, she listens to patients and families and tries to anticipate needs.”
Price orders supplies for her floor, stays up to date on platforms and technology, and is helpful with solving problems, Williams added. “She is well respected, and physicians and teammates know her by name,” he said.
Before coming aboard five years ago, Price worked for a wholesale nursery for 18 years. When she began looking for a less physical job, a friend at the hospital recommended she consider being a monitor tech.
So Price took her advice, enrolled in a class at Johnston Community College and liked it. A short while after joining the department, she took on the additional role of secretary. “I love the variety of my work,” Price said. “No two days are the same. And there’s always something to learn.”
Price said she enjoys patients, teammates, volunteers and physicians. “Our hospital is full of wonderful people who work here and come for treatment,” she said.
Price grew up on Cleveland Road in rural Johnston County. She now lives at McGee’s Crossroads with her son, Mason, a recent high school graduate. In her spare time, she enjoys watching him compete in rodeos as a bull rider.
Through the ambassador program, Johnston recognizes teammates who go above and beyond the call of duty. They deliver quality care, foster teamwork and offer excellent service.
In addition to a designated month-long parking space, Price will receive eight hours of paid time off.
