Making a difference

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

A patient could not say enough about Dana, and that he was “blown away” with how helpful she was getting everything arranged so that he could have surgery here with Dr. Santiago.  He said she was “absolutely incredible.”

Diana Flischel

I would not be about to do all this with you. I greatly appreciate all you do.
