“I had the pleasure of getting to know Evelyn when she was in the newly created float RN role,” said Tara Boynton, RN, director of Perioperative Services for Pen Bay, in a news release. “Right away I recognized that she has great leadership qualities and was hopeful that she might want to explore the coordinator role. Evelyn role models teamwork, collaboration and patient centered care and we are so lucky to have her in this new role!”
