Makeba Archer
Makeba Archer, who has a background as an emergency medical technician and medical assistant, works on the overnight shift in the Mount Sinai Health System Patient Transfer Center.
According to Annabel Henry, RN, Senior Director of the Transfer Center, Makeba is “definitely the glue that keeps our overnight team together. She is always available to assist and has proven to be an excellent, consistent colleague.”
Makeba says she loves her job as a Patient Transfer agent and the problem-solving it entails. ‘”The overnights get busy; we are responsible for all intra- and inter-hospital transfers, from beginning of the process to the end.”
Recently, Makeba has also taken on the overnight telemedicine programs, ensuring that all patients are registered in a timely manner. She is very busy off the job as well; Makeba is studying to be a nurse at Westchester Community College.
