Ann Zalkind — Manager, Copywriting

2015 UHS Service Excellence Winner

You can teach skills but you can’t teach self-motivation. A self-motivated employee is an individual that is eager and willing to accept and meet challenges — all with a positive attitude. Add the ability to work well with others and you have the perfect Service Excellence recipient.

This describes Ann who … the first week she came to work for UHS, was assigned the task of researching and writing a historical video for the company. The fact that it was going to be shown at the Hospital Management Conference in three weeks, just seemed to make it more exhilarating.

Or … if you need someone to lead a copywriting team, she would thoughtfully identify what was needed and come to you for collaboration and support — with most of the details already figured out.

Ann was assigned the project and took charge of writing copy for our health plan. This required endless meetings and collaborations culminating with over 350 brochures, 600,000 direct mail pieces, some ads and a couple of radio and television commercials.

The team wants Ann to know how much they appreciate her and feel appreciated and supported. UHS is fortunate to have Ann on our team.
