Green Named RMC Employee Of The Quarter
Her office does not resemble most. Though neat, you might find a pile of giveaway items spilling out of a large container, linens piled in a corner or stacks of folded newspapers and brochures taking up precious real estate on shelves. Event posters often litter the floor and there is always coffee percolating. It’s the office where creative campaigns are formulated and the details of every fundraiser developed. It’s also the office of Jaimee Green, Roosevelt Medical Center’s most recently recognized Employee of the Quarter for April, May and June.
“She is a great asset to our RMC family and always goes above and beyond for every project she is working on. She is always willing to help others and always strive to make RMC the very best it can be,” said Cindy Lou Wade, human resources and materials management coordinator.
Green has been employed at RMC for over five years as the marketing and foundation director. Most of her work entails public relations with the community as well as grant writing and fundraising for the organization. She also serves on several internal committees.
“I really consider myself a behind- the-scenes person. My job is to bring our facility and its staff to the forefront and showcase the great work they do,” Green said. “The very best part of my job is thanking donors. I enjoy seeing their reaction when they truly get a sense of how important their contributions are to the mission we strive to accomplish every day,” she added.
Green grew up in Los Angeles, Calif., but has lived in the area for over almost 20 years. She received her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism and her bachelor’s degree in political science from California State University Long Beach and her master’s degree in business and marketing from California Coast University in Anaheim, Calif.
“Jaimee is a jewel at RMC who works hard and is very dedicated to making sure the facility receives grants and hosts successful fundraisers to continue to enhance the facility,” said Jeff Haus, maintenance supervisor.
Prior to working in healthcare, Green worked for NBC News as an anchor and director and in print journalism at several newspapers as a reporter and editor.
“I never imagined working in the healthcare industry, but the skill set required for what I do now is very similar to many of the skills required for journalism. This work is much more rewarding because it carries with it the possibility of enhancing healthcare for the people in my community,” she said. “Writing a news story isn’t as gratifying as writing a grant that can provide the funding necessary to bring an entirely new service to our area and our patients. That is what inspires me to come to work each, and every day,” she said.
Together with her husband of 18 years, Troy, she has three boys: Travis, 17; Trevor, 14; and Harrison, 11.
