Meet Edna

Name: Edna Moore

Title and Department: Secretary, Rehabilitation Department, Broward Health North

What I do at Broward Health: As the secretary for the department, I work closely with our wonderful patients. I receive the patients, make and confirm their appointments, and I work with registration for verification of benefits. I truly try and make a great experience every day for the patients and my coworkers.

Years at Broward Health: 19.5

What motivates me to come to work each day: I love coming to work and being with my coworkers and our patients, they are like my family. I love people and draw my energy from people. Everybody knows I love my job. I am grateful to be part of such a wonderful place.

My favorite Broward Health moment: When my dog, Mia, and I became the Employee of the Month. Mia and I would go around our floor, 3 South East, to visit patients during my downtime. After a while, we were seeing really high scores in the patient surveys from that floor. They kept saying it was because of “the dog.”

Some advice I’d give to a new employee just starting their career in healthcare: Come in with an open heart to serve, and have fun. It’ll show.

How I like to relax: I don’t have any family in Florida, so I love hanging out with my two dogs. I take them to the mall and push them around in their stroller. Sometimes I dress them up the same, and it makes people smile.

What I’m most proud of personally or professionally: My dog, Mia, who has now passed, took me all the way to Hollywood with her ability to count. I went all the way to Jacksonville to audition and could not believe it when I stood in front of Simon Cowell and he said “Yes!” I wanted to pinch myself.

What’s on my playlist: Boy, do I have a playlist! Any kind of music, from country to jazz.

If I could have dinner with anyone in the world, alive or dead, it would be: My mother. She passed long ago. We would sit down together and eat Chilean sea bass. It is the most wonderful fish I’ve ever tasted.
