Suzanne Campanile, CRT, ARRT, R, M, BS, mammography and breast sonography technologist, received the June Stanford Hospital and Clinics Radiology Wingspread Award from the former recipient, Teresa Nelson, CRT. Ms. Campanile was awarded the June Wingspread Award for her outstanding work in mammography and breast sonography. The award is given by one employee to another who has proven that he or she is a "special performer" by demonstrating exemplary performance in areas such as job knowledge; work ethics; communication skills; inter- and intradepartmental relationships; versatility; and judgment. Born in Burlingame, California, Ms. Campanile resides in Belmont with her husband and three children. In 1983, Ms. Campanile graduated with honors, receiving her AS degree from Canada College's Radiology Technology Program where she was awarded the Samuel Elkins Award for academic achievement. Ms. Campanile worked at Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City for four years before beginning her career at Stanford in July of 1987. After working for a brief time in diagnostic radiology, Ms. Campanile became the lead technologist in the gastrointestinal section. She then completed CT training and became the initial X-ray technologist for the Cowell Student Health Center, which is now the Vaden Health Center. After passing her mammography boards in 1994, Ms. Campanile shifted her focus to mammography. She has recently passed the ARRT board exam in breast sonography, and she is currently a mammographer and breast sonographer in the breast imaging section. The Wingspread Award gives employees the opportunity to recognize who among them has gone above and beyond the fulfillment of his or her usual duties. Wingspread awardees can keep the award for as long as they wish or until they discover another "special performer." Monthly awarding of the Wingspread honor is encouraged as part of the SHC departmental staff meetings.
