Employee of the Quarter

Eric Campbell, Pharm.D., was honored as the Employee of the Quarter for the 4^th Quarter of 2009. 

Only one year has passed since Eric joined the Braxton County Memorial Hospital family and during that time, he has made a huge impact as our Director of Pharmacy. Working closely with Administration, Medical Staff and Nursing Staff, Eric has been instrumental in changing policy and procedure to reduce the risk of medication errors, save money and provide the best possible care for our patients. Most recently, Eric has been recognized for his ‘diligent work regarding the H1N1 vaccination program’. One of several nominators reports, “Eric put in countless hours to provide updates to us on a daily basis.” Because of his efforts, Braxton County Memorial was the first facility in the area to obtain the H1N1 vaccine, even securing a second shipment to ensure that our patients, coworkers and families were protected. 

As our fulltime Pharmacist, Eric is available to consult with providers and patients regarding medication concerns. He is more than simply accessible as Randy Conrad, RN states, “Eric checks with the Emergency Department multiple times per day to ascertain if there is anything we need.” Jill Cottrill, RN, ED Nurse Manager, comments, “Eric has, on more than one occasion, bought the ED staff pizza for lunch when they have been too busy to take a lunch break and go to the cafeteria. He is an asset to the hospital and we are truly blessed to have him on staff.” After his work day was completed, Eric even went so far as to run errands for another employee that could not break away. Both professionally and on a personal level, we are glad that Eric is part of the Braxton County Memorial Hospital family. 

Eric was asked recently to grant an interview to WVU Health Sciences and Technology Academy (HSTA) as a ‘success story’. As a former HSTA member, he is indeed considered a success in that he succeeded in obtaining his Doctorate in Pharmacy from WVU in May 2008 graduating Summa Cum Laude and chose to return to rural Braxton County to work. Eric is a member of the Gassaway Baptist Church where he serves as webmaster.
