TGMC’s Teresita McNabb, RN, MSHSA, CNAA, BC Named Rotarian of the Year
Teresita McNabb, RN, MSHSA, CNAA, BC, Vice President of Nursing Services at Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) was awarded Rotarian of the Year along with Mart Black on June 24th at the annual Houma-Terrebonne Rotary Banquet.
McNabb has been a member of the Rotary Club of Houma-Terrebonne for 4 years, but in that short time has been an integral part of the club making a huge impact. Rotarian of the Year is an annual award chosen by the club president, and is the pinnacle of Rotary Club awards. Dan Foster, President of the Rotary Club of Houma-Terrebonne, felt both McNabb and Mart Black were deserving of the honor, and awarded them with a commemorative plaque that states the ideals of a Rotarian - upholding and furthering principles and ideals of the rotary way of life.
“Teresita contributed to the success of the club during this past year. I could count on her to get things done; she was always very dependable and faithful, which helped make my job easier,” said Foster. “She truly has the spirit of a Rotarian, which is service above self. For these reasons, I felt she was truly deserving of this coveted award” said Foster.
According to Foster, it is rare for this award to be given to a Rotarian with few years of service, but McNabb’s efforts and contributions set her apart from the rest. This past year, McNabb served as secretary for the club and was the membership committee chairperson. She is currently serving as President-Elect from July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009, and then she will take over as president for the 2009-2010 term.
When asked about being the recipient of the award, McNabb commented, “It was both a surprise and honor to receive this award from the Houma Terrebonne Rotary Club. I admire the group of Rotarians that comprise our club. They are a wonderful group of generous people who tirelessly work to make our community and world a better place. It is my privilege to be a member of this Club as well as represent our Club as an officer.”
McNabb has been an integral part of the TGMC team for over 22 years. Currently, she is the Vice President of Nursing Services and has served as Assistant Vice President of Nursing Services and has held various leadership positions in the Critical Care Department from staff nurse to Director of the Critical Care Services. Mrs. McNabb holds a certification in Nursing Administration, Advanced and a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. She is a member of the Louisiana Organization of Nurse Executives as well as the American College of Healthcare Executives.
