Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 11/03/2016 --ImageFIRST's National Service Director, Jay Juffre, continually inspires his associates across the ImageFIRST network by encouraging them to take small steps towards making a big impact in healthcare. Last month, he was back at it again, encouraging ImageFIRST employees and healthcare workers to become "daymakers." ImageFIRST Portland, a leading provider of healthcare linen services to Salem, OR area medical facilities and throughout the nation, took that call to heart.

The daymaker idea originated from an activity in which Juffre and his children would participate while driving along toll roads in his home state of Florida. They would stop at the toll booth, pay the operator their fare, and then also pay the fare of the vehicle behind them. Juffre would watch in the rearview mirror as that person's face would light up in happiness as they would race ahead to give him a big wave and smile. His actions proved that a minor, yet impactful gesture, can make a person's day.

With that, Juffre is encouraging healthcare industry workers to become "daymakers." The idea is, little good deeds are easy to accomplish, but can help make a patient's experience exceptional. Furthermore, if healthcare includes more daymakers, the industry as a whole will become stronger and more positive in a relatively simple way. Juffre is sure that medical providers who build teams of daymakers will see their patient satisfaction levels soar. ImageFIRST Portland has taken Juffre's words to heart, and employees are pledging to work toward being daymakers.
