Portland, Maine (May, 2006) - Tim Neill, an employee of Maine Medical Center's Engineering Services Department and painter extraordinaire, was awarded the Rehab Services Award for 2005 by New England Rehabilitation Hospital of Portland (NERHP). The award is given to a Brighton Campus employee in grateful recognition of their outstanding behind the scenes contributions, performance and dedicated service to New England Rehabilitation Hospital patients and staff. A ceremony was held earlier this year at NERHP's Brighton Room to honor Mr. Neill.

"Tim is someone who quietly goes above and beyond everyday." says Amy Morse, CEO, NERHP. "He brings joy and surprises to us with the work he does. Through his use of color he calms us and makes us proud of the environment we work in. His position does not require him to stop what he is doing and direct patients and families who need directions in the building. Yet he does this many times a day in a respectful and kind manner. His quality of work is outstanding both professionally and personally."
