PHIL Award Winner
March 2010
March 2010
University of Michigan Hospitals practitioner Amanda (Mandy) Ausmus was
awarded the PHIL Award for her contribution of care excellence to the
pulmonary afflicted patient. Mandy was presented with the award by
Sharman Lamka on March 17.
What makes her different…“ I guess the main thing I've always tried to do
throughout my life and career is, as my mom always said – treat others as you
want to be treated! I try to treat everyone I meet with the utmost respect and
care, because, someday it could be myself or my family being cared for, and
I'd hope they'd do the same.”
Mandy is a 2005 graduate from Monroe Community College. During one of her clinical rotations, she started
her career at U of M, first as a technician while in school, then accepting a position as a staff therapist upon
graduation.
Along with other interests, Mandy is involved in the community as a junior varsity and varsity cheerleading
coach at Summerfield High School. This is her third year as coach at her alma mater. As Mandy notes, “I
love teaching, not only in something I love to do, but in skills to succeed in life.”
