PREZIO Health Team Honored with the William Beaumont Award for Meritorious Service
PREZIO Health announces that Brandon Davison, Matt Bainbridge and Emily Rendon were nominated by Lt. Col. Cynthia Phillips to receive The William Beaumont Award for Meritorious Service for the outstanding work they have performed on the instrument etching project at William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC). PREZIO Health worked with one of the leaders in surgical instrument tracking systems to etch, validate the instruments and enter them into the program for William Beaumont Army Medical Center. In three and a half months, they were able to complete 30,000 surgical instruments including scopes and power equipment. PREZIO Health also inspected and repaired any instrumentation that was found to be damaged or nonfunctional.
In presenting the award on April 5, Lt. Col. Cynthia Phillips said, "The PREZIO Health crew is well-deserving of this recognition and I am very pleased to acknowledge them for their exceptional work and service that significantly contributes to the accomplishment and mission of WBAMC."
We are extremely honored to see our PREZIO Health Team recognized with this prestigious award, and the company congratulates them on this wonderful achievement, said PREZIO Health CEO, Dennis Streppa. Brandon, Matt and Emily are outstanding leaders and we are very proud of them and their commitment to ensuring the medical readiness of all of our men and women in uniform. This is a much deserved tribute to their hard work.
