The Making a Difference program provides a unique way to recognize staff who go above and beyond to advance the Department of Neurosurgery mission to provide the best neurosurgical patient care possible.
Each month, three nominees are randomly selected and receive a Visa gift card.
We would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who nominated a co-worker!
To recognize someone, staff and faculty can submit nominations at the Making a Difference email address.

In addition, we would like to recognize the Washington University Neurological Scheduling Department for their dedication, determination and hard work in creating our patient schedule in a timely manner.

Our patients and department are lucky to have this scheduling team: Monique, Maggie, Nickie, Jessica, Morgan, Melissa, Tasha, and Laurie.
