Sal’s Stars of the Week: Diane Gurney
(Introduced by Lorraine Avery)
This week Sal’s Star of the week is Diane Gurney, secretary II (University Medical Group) section of Cardiology. Diane started her career at HSC in 2001 and transitioned to SBH in 2006. Diane has worked for Dr. K. Wolfe since 2001 and Dr. J. Ducas since 2006, as well as providing support for other various cardiologists.
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Diane for the past twenty years. Diane is a loyal and hard-working person. She is a pleasure to work with and always treats everyone with respect and kindness. At home, time is spent with family and friends, and her catahoula leopard dog, Phoebe.
Thanks Diane for everything that you do.
