BCP welcomes comments to our blog however please know they are subject to review.
BCP has many departments and hundreds of employees. Do you know the function of each department? Or the role of many of our staff members? Each month, we’ll spotlight a staff member or department. Last month we interviewed BCP’s Payroll Technician, Sue Cleary. This month, we’d like to introduce you to Tim Somera!
What’s your job title? And what do you do?
Special Donations Representative, and I assist with autologous, directed, and therapeutic donors. I also provide service to, well, basically, everyone who needs assistance pertaining to accomplishing BCP’s mission statement.
Describe your typical day at the Irwin Center.
A typical day at BCP would be: (1) following up on phone messages & emails; (2) entering autologous & directed orders into Safetrace; (3) making appointments for autologous, directed, and therapeutic donors and entering them into eDonor; (4) answering calls internally & externally and providing proper assistance to inquiries; (5) tracking autologous and directed orders and ensuring donations are available in time for surgeries, and; (6) following up with the doctor’s office regarding status of donations.
What do you like best/most about your job?
The warm feeling I get at the end of the day knowing I’ve helped others.
What are the challenges?
Coordinating with the doctor’s office and making sure orders are complete. Also, scheduling donations within the time-frame allotted and having them sent to their destination in a timely manner.
How do you overcome them?
By following through, whether rain or shine.
How long have you worked at BCP?
Nine years in June!
Thank you Tim for your hard work and dedication to the lifesaving cause of blood donation!
