KPNAA PEOPLE

Our first recipient of the KPNAA Excellence in Leadership Award began her Kaiser CRNA career in 1980 at the Sunset/Los Angeles Facility.

To give you some perspective, her beginning pay rate as a CRNA when she started in 1980 was $11.50 per hour!

After 10 years, she moved on to Panorama City and after six years of service there, she transferred to the Woodland Hills facility where she has been and continues to be a leading force for all CRNAs.

She first got a taste of union work as a KPNAA alternate union representative at the Sunset facility from 1987-88 and later became a KPNAA facility union representative for Woodland Hills in 2000. She has maintained this position for the past 11 years. She has also served KPNAA as a Past President on the Executive Committee and is an active and vocal member on the JAMCO committee.

Her involvement in the Labor Management Partnership is unparalleled. Since 2000, she has served as:

In addition, our recipient has Mentored and molded SRNAs since 1980. It is with great honor and pleasure that I present to you, KPNAA’s 1^st Recipient of the KPNAA Excellence in Leadership Award – CAROL HAMMILL
