Mary Seger Barker, MSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM, CIMI, a clinical nurse educator in the Methodist Women’s Hospital Outreach program, is the Employee of the Quarter for the fourth quarter of 2024.

She was nominated by a colleague, who wrote:

“Mary exemplifies The Meaning of Care in all her work for the Perinatal Bereavement Program. She is so compassionate in all her work for the Perinatal Bereavement Committee. Mary devotes so much of her own time to researching best practices for perinatal bereavement patients and never hesitates to take on a project, knowing the outcome is going to better the care of our patients. She is very committed to ensuring that the patients of Methodist Women’s Hospital have access to the latest options available. … Mary is also a resource and is committed to ongoing education through evidence-based practice. … Mary has devoted a majority of her career to women’s health. She is a prime example of what a nurse should aspire to be. Mary always holds the patient at the forefront of all that she does.”

Congratulations, Mary, on being selected as the Methodist Women's Hospital Employee of the Quarter!
