Each Thursday, we feature a medical center employee. This week, we learn about:
- Name: Jean Palmer
- Hometown: Council Bluffs
- No. of years at UNMC: Eight years
Tell us a bit about what you do here at UNMC.
I work in the administrative office with the UNMC Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. I am the assistant to the seven head and neck oncology surgeons. Some of my duties include coordination of all their calendars, meetings and travel. It can be a big challenge, but it’s one I enjoy!
Leadership is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed leadership at UNMC.
Leadership is witnessed on a daily basis through the physicians I assist. They demonstrate leadership beyond patient care, such as teaching/mentoring and in positions held on multiple committees.
What is your favorite fall activity?
I enjoy all fall festivities and the anticipation it brings for the upcoming holiday season!
List three things people may not know about you.
