Angel Rivera
Angel Rivera is a Materials Manager at Mount Sinai Beth Israel who heads a team responsible for keeping all units stocked with supplies on a daily basis. In this important behind-the-scenes role, Angel has been praised by his colleagues for his teamwork, creativity, and agility.
Patrice Alexandre, RN, Nurse Manager, 7 Silver says, “While completing rounds to deliver materials and assure that our stockroom was equipped with the necessary supplies needed for the unit, Mr. Rivera noticed that the supply room on 7 Silver was a bit disheveled and need some organization. He took the time out of his busy day to discard any boxes or items that were the source of clutter or inappropriately stored, cleaned the floors behind the storage shelves, and removed any excess supplies that were impacting the cleanliness and appearance of the unit. After he left, the room was so clean and well organized! We all truly appreciated his hard work and dedication to the upkeep of our supply room. Thank you Mr. Rivera!”
Richard Spatafora, MSN, RN, Nurse Education Manager, has also thanked Angel for going above and beyond: “Angel always finds a way to help, and today was no exception. Angel quickly responded to our need for some materials we needed for our critical care course. He located exactly what was needed, and despite being exceptionally busy, found the time to run the needed supplies to Nursing Education. This kind of behavior is not unusual for Angel. He is always kind and helpful, and contributes greatly to all of our collective success. Nursing Education loves you, Angel! Thanks for always being so helpful. ”
Angel is clearly dedicated to his work. “Assuring that our patients have the daily supplies for them to be taken care of is really important to me, he explains. “It is so satisfying to know that I am helping patients to be comfortable and safe and that their stay at MSBI turns out to be a great experience. It’s always a pleasure working with the nurse managers of each unit and assisting them with their needs. I have made it clear that I am only an email or call away.”
