AMERICUS — Dennis Berryhil strolls into the waiting area at the main entrance of Phoebe Sumter Medical Center (PSMC) and before he can take a seat, something catches his eye. In the corner of the room, underneath a row of chairs, three magazines have fallen off of their perch atop the wooden table. Berryhill simple strolls over, bends down and picks up the magazines, and gently places them back to their correct spot.
It is these types of situations, which make people around the hospital know that Berryhill takes pride in what he does. He doesn’t ask anybody to come and pick them up, nor does he sigh or gripe and complain about having to pick up the publications. It's his job and he does it well. “My motto is ‘make it do what it do,’ ” Berryhill said, “which means to me, do whatever needs to be done.”
Berryhill works second-shift on Enviornmental Services at PSMC, and has been doing so for the past four and half years. He spends his days at the hospital cleaning the floors and doing the basic housekeeping duties in every nook, cranny, hallway, and guest room in the hospital. Berryhill stated that the main thing that he loves about his job is that “it allows me to meet a wide variety of different people.”
Berryhill credits his hard work ethic to his parents. “My parents taught me a lot growing up, like working hard, and taking pride in the job that you do,” said Berryhill. When Berryhill is not keeping the hospital looking neat and tidy, he said he enjoys playing basketball, fishing, and spending time with his family.
So the next time you visit PSMC, and see Dennis Berryhill hard at work, make sure you say hello and take a minute to thank him for the job he does.
