Cindy Martinez, from Bensenville, Bistro Attendant in Java City, is the second quarter winner for Good Samaritan Hospital's Stewardship MVP. Martinez accepts any challenges that come her way while working at the hospital's café. She stepped up out of her comfort zone to handle an emergency situation. She took the initiative to cover shifts that a co-worker could not and filled in as a cook which includes excellent time management skills and is very difficult even for those accustomed to working it on a routine basis.
