Southwest Florida nonprofit David Lawrence Centers for Behavioral Health (DLC), Collier County's only comprehensive, not‐for‐profit behavioral health provider serving children, adults and families, has named Acute Care Nursing Supervisor Tammy Seyler its 2020 Employee of the Year, according to a Jan. 21 press release. Seyler joined DLC in 2016 as a registered nurse. She was promoted to registered nurse coordinator in 2019 and later that same year was promoted to supervisor. She was given the Employee of the Year honor for her sound leadership, the release stated. As a new supervisor, in 2020 she assisted with employee trainings, employee engagement activities and DLC's Nursing Student Program, and graciously stepped into the challenging role of infection control officer amid the COVID‐19 pandemic. “[Tammy] has played a critical role in the health and safety of our front‐line workers, clients and visitors during the pandemic and works tirelessly to help with staffing to ensure more people can access life‐saving emergency care on the Crisis Unit, which is often at capacity,” said DLC President and CEO Scott Burgess.
