08/26/2014

Glenn Timmons, security officer at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, was honored for his 28 years of service this week with a huge billboard in front of the hospital. Timmons received the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Foundation’s (DFWHC Foundation) Employee of the Year Award, April 22 during a ceremony at Irving Convention Center. He was the first recipient from Children’s in the award’s 18-year history.

The honor was detailed on KDFW FOX Ch. 4 News this morning. After the billboard’s appearance, Timmons received a promotion from Children’s where he now trains new hospital security guards.

“This is just outstanding,” said Sally Williams, director of the DFWHC Foundation Workforce Center. “Mr. Timmons is known as ‘The Face’ of the hospital. Wherever he goes he is known by name. We are so happy he is receiving this honor. The award was created to honor such crucial hospital employees as Mr. Timmons.”

Timmons was one of four top award winners at the luncheon. A salute to the North Texas hospital workforce, the DFWHC Foundation Employee of the Year Luncheon is an opportunity for North Texas hospitals to acknowledge exceptional employees. In 2014, 14 recipients and 100 nominees were honored. The luncheon serves to boost morale within the healthcare community and offers employees a chance to be recognized.
