Abraham He is a very friendly person who is always concerned about doing his job in the best possible way; he is very careful and detailed in what he does. He is always helping patients and colleagues with whatever they need, always putting on his best attitude and a smile. Abraham is a person who is always available to cover any area where it is needed, in which employees highlight him for his kindness and for being a very proactive person. He is also known among his colleagues as a respectful and charismatic person with everyone.

He is one of the people who, with little time working the day shift, has been recognized several times either by a thank you card, an ICARE card, or by invitations to eat in the different departments of the hospital.

That is why the housekeeping department considers him a good candidate to be nominated for the category of respect and compassion since we have all come to the conclusion as a team that Abraham meets the traits and values that guide Nor-Lea; He is being a kind, helpful, proactive, respectful and friendly person.

It is for these reasons that we hope that Abraham can be recognized for the good work and effort he puts in every day.

Abraham Soto is the definition of an exceptional employee- not only is he consistently polite and hardworking but he takes such pride in the work that he does that you can’t help but feel motivated by his ‘go getter’ drive. Recently, I was using the housekeeping microwave to warm my food and while there I overheard an interaction between a newly hired employee and Abraham. Abraham was telling the employee how much he was going to love it here at Nor Lea and stressing the fact that the work that they do matters. He was so positive and passionate about his job. I could see how his words of encouragement were contagious and making all the difference to this individual. It is employees like Abraham that make Nor Lea Hospital exceptional, for the staff as well as the patients.
