BEE Award Goes to Michael Allgood

Congratulations to BEE winner Michael Allgood, MRI Technologist in the Radiology Department at DCH Regional Medical Center.

Michael was nominated by a patient.

“I have always had a hard time having MRIs because of my severe claustrophobia. During the first part of the test, Michael pulled me out of the machine to check on me. He reassured me that I was doing well and encouraged me to relax as we moved to the next part. He really took the time to make me feel comfortable, even preparing a towel for me so I wouldn't have to see the machine. He explained exactly what he was doing at every step and kept me informed on how much longer each set of pictures would take. He promised he would be back after a certain amount of time, and he kept that promise. Throughout the entire scan, Michael made sure I was updated and at ease.

I’ve had many MRIs in my life, but I’ve never had an experience quite like this. Michael’s professionalism and kindness made it the best MRI I’ve ever had. He made me feel like he truly cared for me, and I am so grateful for his exceptional care. If I ever need another MRI, I will definitely return to see Michael. He’s truly great at his work!”
