Cindy Sands<\/p><\/div>\n

Cindy Sands started at UNMC in 1999. With her friendly smile, Cindy has greeted hundreds of patients at the front desk. When she\u2019s not working with patients, Cindy has helped out with medical records. This year, she accepted the role of Operations Lead within the Department of Psychiatry. In her new role, Sands will be working with the new Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). For all her hard work, Sands was nominated for the Kind and Caring Award, an honor handed by Nebraska Medicine to an employee who goes above and beyond in his or her job.<\/p>\n

What do you love about your job?<\/em>
\nThe patients and my co-workers. I love working with people. I started working out in the children\u2019s division, and I enjoyed it. I like children. I have three children and eleven grandchildren of my own. It\u2019s a wonderful job because I get to be around people all the time. I\u2019m a people person.<\/p>\n

What is your new role entail?<\/em>
\nMy new role is as Operations Lead. I\u2019m doing payroll. I\u2019m overseeing the clinic\u2019s new clerical team. I\u2019m making sure everyone is doing what they\u2019re supposed to be doing at their posts. I\u2019m pretty much (Clinic Manager) Maggie (Milner\u2019s) right-hand person. I\u2019m helping Maggie out in whatever ways needed, but I\u2019m also doing all the schedules and templates.<\/p>\n

What excites you about your new role with the IOP?<\/em>
\nWe\u2019re opening a brand new program, and I\u2019m involved with it. I\u2019m just a small part of it, but it\u2019s kind of cool to see how it\u2019s all coming together. From having locks installed to the opening day when we\u2019re actually seeing patients, it\u2019s exciting. We want the new program to be successful because it\u2019s a unique program. I love being over there and seeing how things are falling into place. We\u2019ve waited two-and-a-half years to start this program, and now it\u2019s happening. The therapists are so excited to see patients. Being a part of it all is wonderful. We are providing collaborative care. It\u2019s nice to see it coming together.<\/p>\n

What are your hobbies?<\/em>
\nI am a very faithful person. I go to a lot of church activities. I also spend a lot of time with my family. I love my (eleven) grandchildren. They\u2019re all local, so we get together a lot. We play lots of games and find fun things to do at home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
