Shawn Mackie<br />
is a Frequent Spirit Card Recipient<br />

Spirit Card recipients are recognized in each Mediscoop issue for going<br />
above and beyond in service to patients and coworkers. Highlighting<br />
frequent recipients allows readers to see why some names are on the<br />
list time and again. This issue turns the spotlight on Shawn Mackie, a<br />
rehab tech with SVMC Physical Therapy. He has received 10 spirit cards<br />
in the last six months – and five of those were within the last month—<br />
outstanding!<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Vincent’s Physical Therapy Manager Eric Lisitano say, “Shawn has<br />
assumed the department responsibility of supply ordering and through<br />
his diligence, and persistence, the process has become seamless and<br />
efficient resulting in a better workflow for associates and for the<br />
department as a whole.”<br />
When Shawn isn’t handling supply orders or working with orthopedic<br />
patients, he’s with patients who have other limited mobility. “I think of<br />
my job as ‘lubricating’ the process for the physical therapists,” he says.<br />
“We get the room set up and equipment connected and easily accessible<br />
so the therapist can focus on the patient.”<br />
Mackie’s father, Jim, is a former SVMC Certified Athletic Trainer so it<br />
could be assumed that Shawn was interested in following in his dad’s<br />
footsteps. Not so, Shawn says. “I always respected my father’s love for<br />
his work, but never considered it for myself.” He smiles and admits,<br />
“I didn’t think I could pass the educational requirements for the job.”<br />
When Mackie moved back to Jacksonville three years ago, with 13<br />
years’ experience as a chef, he wanted his career to go in a different<br />
direction. <strong>Health</strong>care entered his mind and his search led him to the<br />
rehab tech position. “Now I love my job and find it very rewarding to<br />
help people, especially those with balance issues, as they progress from<br />
not walking to walking in the short time they are here,” he says. “It’s<br />
amazing!”<br />
Something else is amazing: “I’m in my third semester of college,” says<br />
Mackie, “working towards becoming a physical therapy assistant. I plan<br />
to continue my education and get a Sports Medicine degree and become<br />
an Athletic Trainer.” Dad would be proud!<br />
Thank you, Shawn, for your outstanding commitment and for living our<br />
Values.<br />
