“Over the past decade here at GHC-SCW, Carrie has consistently performed with great skill and dedication and has rightfully earned the respect of her coworkers,” commented Dr. Mark Huth, GHC-SCW President and Chief Executive Officer. “She has led a number of improvement projects, each of which have increased efficiency and provided an enhanced level of HR support across our organization. We have no doubt Carrie will continue to be a valued partner and mentor for many in the organization.”
