1. "In the forty-one years that I have practiced nursing, I consider her the best CEO I have known. She is excellent in dealing with all of the administration and financial aspects of this institution. She relates well with the physicians. She assists in the nursing care of patients when needed. She truly cares for each staff person no matter what their title. She is honest, respectful of others and is a strong patient advocate. She participates actively in the politics that affect the future of this facility. I trust her."
2. "I have worked with Debbie Hay for over 5 years. I am of the opinion that she is the IDEAL CEO to work with. She is easy to talk to and yet strong when needed. She provides the leadership style that allows you to make mistakes yet will prevent them if possible and not berate you for the error. She is a mentor. She always looks out for her staff first!"
3. "I have been in nursing for over 33 years and have seen a lot of CEOs come and go. She has been a constant at TIS for several years now and continues to be the best I’ve ever known! She works at all levels with all employees, she is always available to her employees as well as customers and families. She is comfortable to talk to, she listens. She is constantly working on ways to improve our workplace for patients and their families, as well as her staff and physicians. She is the most ethical upright CEO I have personally ever known. If anyone deserves this award, it would be her."
