We are pleased to announce that Kristy Malloy has been chosen as one of Partners’ two Employees of the Month for October. She has been with us since Feb. 2020 when she was hired as a Community Health Advocate to help Paradise Medical Group and their patients. Most of their patients have been impacted by the 2018 Campfire which destroyed the city of Paradise and again, recently, with the North Complex Fire in Butte County. Kristy has built many relationships with community p...roviders and is very familiar with what her community and town have to offer in terms of resources and services. She always finds a way to meet the needs of her patients and does not give up. For example, she was able to get a free water filtration system for a couple whose home survived but had extensive fire damage. Along with her resourcefulness and knowledge, she has built a solid rapport with the staff at Paradise Medical Group. Her management team at Partners all agree her personality is bubbly, compassionate, kind, and giving. Just recently, Kristy was able to get a United Way grant of $5000 for those who were affected by the 2018 Campfire. We are so fortunate and proud to have Kristy as part of the team here at Partners. We look forward to all her continued achievement. Congratulations Kristy! See more
