Josh shows his commitment to Pate’s Core Values daily through his words and actions. Though he has only been at our site for a year, his impact has not gone unnoticed. He is an integral part of our team and is constantly striving to keep our facility operating and looking its best for current & prospective patients, as well as our staff. He does this all with a genuine desire to not only do his job well, but to take this load from others. In doing so, he allows us to focus on our own responsibilities while trusting that everything onsite is running safely and smoothly.

Josh always puts forth the effort to initiate and maintain friendly relationships with everyone on our site. When he learns of a need, he’s very prompt to get it addressed. During the summer months when some therapy rooms were getting too hot, he took time to meet with staff to ask what we were looking for in a fan (size, location/placement, specific features, etc.). In a few short hours, he had the fans bought, set up/working, and then took the time to check in with us later to make sure we were taken care of. He also shows his fun side and team spirit by dressing up/participating with holiday themed attire. His Halloween costume (Storm Trooper) was a major hit!

Josh works tirelessly to make sure that our clinic is safe and accessible for patients & staff, and to ensure that equipment is in optimal operating condition. From arriving early to care for the grounds/floors during bad weather, to staying on top of pest control, and repairing equipment needs, he allows us all to come to Pate and accomplish what we are here to do. Admirably, he never seems inconvenienced when asked for help by staff, making us feel like we can always approach him with our needs.

Given the nature of his role, Josh works in a position where his supervisor isn't always on site. That never stops him from staying task-oriented and responsible with his time. He arrives at work early and stays late to get the job done. It’s clear that he holds himself accountable for providing quality work that others can depend on, even if much of it happens behind the scenes.

Josh shows his compassion for others by anticipating and acknowledging our needs. Not only does he make sure that concerns are addressed, but that the solutions also meet our standards. Over the recent holiday season, he took the initiative to go above and beyond to decorate our site nicely (inside and out) so that Pate could be a festive and inviting place for patients away from their homes. He followed through with the less exciting task of taking all it down to put in storage, all without complaint. No matter who he’s talking to, Josh exemplifies respect for others by addressing/greeting everyone, providing thorough communication when it’s needed, and by following through in a timely manner.

Josh uses his skillset to creatively problem-solve different situations that arise, especially with equipment needs. This was recently evident when a treadmill needed to be dismantled. His persistence paid off, and thanks to his knowledge and determination, the electrical wiring was successfully reassembled, making the equipment functional for use again.
The team at Pate - Savanna Oaks Ranch wants to extend their appreciation to Josh for all that he does and report they are "proud to work alongside" him.

Josh demonstrates a people-focused environment as he addresses every maintenance need in a timely and efficient manner. He is willing to work around the patients' and staffs' schedules to complete tasks, even if it means coming in early or staying late to get a job done! He is well-liked and respected amongst the staff because of his attention to the little things...like ensuring everyone has what they need to do their own jobs! He demonstrates a positive, can-do attitude, along with a humble countenance that everyone feels comfortable around.
