Joey Hunter was a special person in my career. As a director of public safety and emergency management at a 340-bed urban California medical center I arrived to find some elements of these programs in shambles. Joey was my lead officer, and he assumed on his own initiative many necessary tasks that allowed me the time to improve the programs and conduct the necessary institution wide training. We then worked together to train our staff and have them all IAHSS certified. We were one of two California medical centers to have the department IAHSS certified. Additionally, Joey on his own created a very user friendly online lost and found registry of patient property.
Congratulations.
