Tuesday, Gene Driscoll went to the Washington County Hospital and Clinics with funds in hand to establish the Judy and Gene Driscoll Drive for Excellence Award. Judy and Gene Driscoll have served the Washington community for 43 years. The Driscoll family have also been involved with WCHC for many years in various aspects. Judy Driscoll passed away in 2021 after a brief battle with blood cancer. She spent many days, nights, and weeks in the WCHC Inpatient Unit. After each stay, Judy raved about the quality of care she received. From the nurses and custodial staff to the doctors and the staff in the cafeteria, everyone treated Judy as if she were family. The Driscoll family would like to continue to recognize the work that the staff at WCHC does for their patients and their families. In an effort to support WCHC’s culture of excellence, every quarter WCHC will award two employees the “Judy and Gene Driscoll Drive for Excellence Award.” The award will be given to two deserving employees that meet WCHC’s mission, values and the commitment to providing compassionate care to the health and healing of their patients.
