Patient Outreach Specialist Jennifer Casey and Population Health Program Coordinator Edoris Lomax were recently honored with Population Health’s Employee of the Quarter Appreciation Awards.
Edoris Lomax, Population Health Program Coordinator
Edoris was recognized for her outstanding leadership and dedication to advancing Temple’s Diabetes Prevention Program, as this excerpt from her nomination shows:
“Edoris has worked tirelessly to expand the reach and impact of the DPP across our region, while also increasing the number of certified lifestyle coaches within Temple. Through her efforts, she has strengthened the program’s infrastructure, improved graduation rates, and significantly grown the number of participants year over year.
Her achievements are remarkable:
- FY23 performance: 138 program participants (41% increase over FY22)
- FY24 performance: 263 program participants (91% increase over FY23)
- FY25 performance: 442 program participants (68% increase over FY24)
These results speak to Edoris’ vision, persistence, and leadership. Because of her dedication, more individuals in our community are gaining access to the education and support needed to delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Her work has had a direct and measurable impact on population health outcomes, and she exemplifies Temple’s values of excellence, innovation, and service.”
Jennifer Casey, Patient Outreach Specialist
Jennifer was honored for her exceptional commitment to patient care, particularly in relation to ensuring patients receive and understand their vaccines, as this excerpt from her nomination shows:
“When we instituted a new process for discussing three specific GlaxoSmithKline-manufactured vaccines with patients, Jenn not only overwhelmingly surpassed all other team members in how many vaccine discussions she had, but has also gone above and beyond by reviewing all other vaccines for which patients are overdue.”
She routinely takes on work that is not assigned to her and completes it without any hesitation to ensure that patients have a seamless and comprehensive healthcare experience. She approaches patient outreach very thoughtfully and brings forward useful suggestions for workflow improvement, which elevates the work done by the entire team.”
