No matter the task, Steve Miller and Jim Haake are always willing to lend a hand when needed. As Facilities Operations Director, Steve teamed up with Jim, a Maintenance Staff member, to assist the NeuroRestorative Georgia program with an issue that resulted in significant damage to a program. When NeuroRestorative Georgia had a challenge securing an outside vendor, Steve and Jim decided to take the task upon themselves. After quickly booking airline tickets, both Steve and Jim arrived in Georgia ready to help; they ripped out the walls and solved the problem. Their willingness, professionalism and team player spirit are just a few of the reasons they have been selected as joint recipients of this quarter’s NeuroRestorative Heroes Award.

“Thank you Steve and Jim for your willingness to help us out. You both are truly team players and we appreciate your help very much,” said Patty Goolsby, NeuroRestorative Georgia’s Program Director.
