Leadership award
PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center executives recently recognized Deby King, administrative director of laboratory services, during the hospital’s September department management meeting.
King has taken on many roles and challenges for the organization during the past 10 years, the board said.
“Deby started with diagnostic imaging, where she successfully grew the service line while helping OMC transition to our affiliation with Radia as the provider of our current physician radiologist team,” said Scott Kennedy, MD, chief medical officer.
“Then in 2012, Deby became our first project manager for the Epic electronic health records implementation.
“Deby did a great job in this implementation and stabilization role, working with both OMC and Providence Epic leadership to coordinate and facilitate our Epic work and resources,” said Kennedy.
In April 2016, King became the administrative director for laboratory services and is currently overseeing the implementation of new hematology and chemistry equipment throughout the department.
