Each day this week — which is Environmental Services Week — we’ll get to know one of our campus environmental services workers who keep the medical center clean and running smoothly.
“Environmental Services Week is a perfect time to recognize UNMC’s hardworking EVS team,” said Paula LeGrande, EVS manager for Sodexo.
Today we meet:

Three things you don’t know about me:
- My son Jason was born at UNMC in 1990, and a senior nurse noticed he wasn’t breathing when I was holding him after surgery. She grabbed him off me and saved his life.
- I’m a member of the Omaha Walking Club. I love walking, even with the amount of walking I do at work.
- Wherever I go, I always get lost. No matter where it is or who drew me a map, I get lost. I don’t have much sense of direction.
Tami Howell is a "breath of fresh air" at UNMC. She is very personable and is always asking if there is something she can do to help you! She's very efficient and actually goes above and beyond to make sure everything is clean around the office area. KUDOS to Tami!!
Hi Tami!!!!!!!!
I had no idea you have worked @ UNMC; what a small world! I'm also very directionally challenged. Thanks for all your hard work; it takes a hard working crew to keep this place clean!

Tami does a wonderful job at the campus events center. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! Thank you for all you do Tami!
Tami Howell is the best! I have said it before "She's the cats meow"! The entire EVS crew does a great job here in the Sorrell Center.
I don't know you but I want to thank you for your part in keeping this campus in near perfect condition. You all work so hard and seem to always have a smile on your face!
Tami Howell is simply the best! She is just one of the nicest, most considerate, and conscientious people I've met in a long time. All our EVS folks do a great job here in Sorrell, but Tami stands head and shoulders above the rest. You rock Tami!!!
Louie Liddick does an outstanding job on third floor of DRC II. He is a tireless worker who makes all of our lives more pleasant.

Tami,
You deserve all the great comments people are saying Outstanding job!
Thank you very much for all you dedication and hard work.
Sincerely,
Tami, you are one of the most sincere and kindest people I have ever met. You take that additional step, where some people would see a duty as "good enough" you always exceed and give people that little extra that makes a huge difference. I think you are great!
Linda Osborn is the Lead in DRC II and I can't say enough about how wonderful she is. She always keeps me informed of what's happening and she leads her crew by example, always being one of the hardest workers. I also have to compliment "King" Louie, Tammy, and Larry (6th floor) – they always do a great job and with smiles on their faces. Having a great EVS team is one of the best things I could ask for!
Martha Carter works diligently to keep a clean, pleasant environment in the College of Nursing. I especially appreciate her efforts on the 3rd floor that houses the Learning Resource Center. This is an area of high traffic and is heavily used by students. Martha consistently keeps our space clean, tidy and welcoming to all students, faculty and staff who use the area. Connie Miller
Tami is awesome! COM Dean's Office

I applaud Mary Walls for her dedication and excellence in keeping the Emergency Medicine Administrative Offices clean and neat.
Tami is not only one of the best EVS employees we've ever had, she's one of the most energetic and thoughtful employees at UNMC I've known. We marvel at her enthusiasm for her job and appreciate her more than mere words can say. Thanks Tami!

There just isn't anything else that can be said about Tami that hasn't already been said! She's absolutley one of the most helpful (goes the extra mile) and upbeat people I know.
Mary Walls does a great job and is always ready to talk Omaha Storm Chasers baseball!
Mary Walls does an amazing job for us. I can't say enough good things about her work.
Martha Carter is our EVS colleague in the College of Nursing CON building. She is so very attentive in making our entire 3rd floor a comforting and welcoming area for our students. Martha always has a smile on her face. If she is on second floor in the morning and sees me coming up the walk, she will push the elevator button for me so it is there when I come in the building. The CON is very lucky to have Martha.
Martha, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !
Tami is an absolutely wonderful and energetic person! She truly goes above and beyond. She makes sure you know that she is there to help you and it is great to know that she is there if you need her.

We are fortunate to have Mary Walls working in our area. She always does a wonderful job, and is kind and pleasant to everyone in the department.
Sounds like the Tami I've know for years! Wonderful to have you as part of the UNMC team.
