Charleston, SC, February 15, 2023 – Today, Floyd Lee Locums is thrilled to announce Dr. Reginald Mason as the second winner of its luxury vacation sweepstakes. This recognition is a quarterly honor the company awards to healthcare providers stepping in to fill temporary and urgent needs in facilities across America. Valued at $6,000, this quarter’s honoree is Dr. Reginald Mason, a General Surgeon delivering care on an Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. His prize rewards his extraordinary contributions, stepping in to make a difference in patient and community health.
“Our Department of Surgery and team have thoroughly enjoyed having Dr. Mason working with us,” shared the Facility Director. “He handles each patient case personally and works to solve issues on the ground with people. He’s a jack of all trades with an impressive range of skills to share.”
The Floyd Lee Locum’s sweepstakes is an opportunity to celebrate the physicians and healthcare clinicians who partner with the locum tenens company. Along with Dr. Mason, the organization also named their inaugural winner in late 2022—Dr. Chinemerem Ugorji—who is taking their luxury vacation to Turks and Caicos in March. The luxury vacation sweepstakes is so well received in the industry and with partners, the company has announced it will continue throughout the 2023 year.
For surgeons like Dr. Mason, this is welcome news. He feels locums work has enlivened both his personal and professional life.
“I chose locums work because I could travel where the patient need was the greatest,” said Dr. Mason. “I enjoy working with tribal healthcare workers because it feels like I am back in the Navy—surrounded by people who are upbeat, moving in one direction, unified, and serving the community. Floyd Lee Locums made that connection possible by getting to know me and what I was looking for in my career and, then, partnering me with this incredible opportunity.”
Floyd Lee Locums echoed their appreciation for the partnership. Along with Dr. Mason being down-to-earth, flexible, and a good personality fit for locums work—his healthcare consultant recognizes how adept he has been at integrating into the tribal healthcare community and is excited that Dr. Mason has extended his contract to continue in this community into 2023.
