It was a simple idea — a fun way to celebrate National EVS Week. <\/p>\n

No one could’ve predicted the volume of votes both Nebraska Medicine NOW and UNMC Today would receive in a contest for colleagues to nominate their favorite EVS worker.<\/p>\n

\nTomas Vizcaya-Landaverde and Jim Jewell received the most votes out of more than 500 nominations. Vizcaya-Landaverde, who has worked here nearly five years, won this contest two years ago.<\/span>

\n<\/TABLE>“Our phone was ringing off the hook,” said Paula Nenneman, general manager, Sodexo. “Many staff know their housekeeper by their first name but needed their last name.”<\/p>\n

It was no inconvenience for Nenneman, who described herself as a proud momma bear as she saw the comments roll in. <\/p>\n

“We are just so incredibly proud of this team,” she says. “It was so nice to see so many of you agreed.”<\/p>\n

Nebraska Medicine NOW received 270 comments; UNMC Today received 303 comments — a record for both publications.<\/p>\n

“We were thrilled to see these wonderful comments about our team members,” said Paul Turner, director, Sodexo.<\/p>\n

Because of the response, EVS managers decided to declare two winners — one from UNMC and one from Nebraska Medicine, each receiving a $50 gift card to Hy-Vee. They also plan to do something special for the top 11 vote getters.<\/p>\n

Tomas Vizcaya-Landaverde, who works in the MSB building, was named the winner from UNMC. Jim Jewell, who works in Interventional Radiology, won for Nebraska Medicine.<\/p>\n

Managers decided to keep the contest a secret.<\/p>\n

“I knew something was going on,” said Martha Carter, associate, EVS.<\/p>\n

The Nebraska Medical Center\/UNMC employs 263 EVS workers; Bellevue has 25.<\/p>\n

They have posted all 573 comments on the bulletin board in the EVS offices for all to read.<\/p>\n
