Anne Quick, a clinical analyst at Eaton Rapids Medical Center (ERMC), was named the 2025 recipient of ERMC’s Non-Clinical Meinke Sherman Care, Serve, Inspire Award.
Anne was nominated for the 2025 Non-Clinical Employee of the Year award by a colleague who recognized her for consistently going above and beyond in her role, demonstrating a true “can-do” attitude, and an unwavering commitment to helping others succeed. Her nomination highlighted her patience, kindness, and positivity, especially during high-stress situations involving computer system issues or urgent Meditech needs.
The nomination noted that when challenges arise and emotions run high, Anne remains calm and compassionate, helping others feel supported rather than overwhelmed. The nomination described an interaction in which an employee who struggled with computer systems expressed embarrassment about asking what they felt were “basic” questions. It read, in part, “Anne immediately reassured the employee, explaining that they had asked many of the same questions when they were first starting out in IT. She emphasized that learning requires asking questions and that there are no silly questions—only opportunities to grow. The employee later went out of their way to share how respected, encouraged, and relieved they felt after that interaction.”
Anne has been with ERMC for three years serving as a clinical analyst. She shared that her favorite part of her role is helping people while also contributing to improvements within Meditech. “I enjoy working through complex issues, so the system runs more smoothly and supports everyone in doing their jobs more effectively,” Anne said.
Her nomination also highlighted her ability to manage a high volume of Meditech tickets with exceptional organization and professionalism. She provides timely, reliable support while communicating clearly and keeping staff informed, allowing clinical teams to remain focused on patient care.
Anne shared that she was shocked when she learned she had won the award. “It is reassurance that I am doing my job well,” she shared, “but more importantly, it’s an honor to know that my colleagues felt strongly enough about my work and contributions to nominate me. Knowing that my efforts have made a positive impact and are appreciated is amazing.”
The Meinke Sherman Care, Serve, Inspire Award was established to honor ERMC’s founding physicians, Dr. Albert Meinke and Dr. Eber Sherman. This award recognizes three employees each year for their outstanding service: a leader, a clinical staff member, and a non-clinical staff member.
