Shore Medical Center announced today that Radiology Tech Aide Matt Wimer of Egg Harbor Township has been named its July Guardian Angel of the Month for providing passionate and exceptional patient care. Shore established the Guardian Angel program to enable community members to say 'thank you' to a special Shore caregiver through a donation to the medical center in their honor.
Wimer joined the Radiology Department as a tech aide in January 2025, after working for several years as a patient transporter. He is always willing to go the extra mile for his coworkers and patients.
Courtney Humphrey, BS, RT(R),(M), QMPA, Director of Diagnostic Imaging, says, “Matt genuinely cares for his patients and strives to ensure their comfort while in his care. He maintains a lighthearted demeanor with his patients in order to ease some of the anxiety that being in a hospital may bring. He is quick with the ‘dad jokes’ and enjoys making his patients smile. He also takes the time to explain to patients what to expect while in the testing area and communicates any concerns to the technologists. He’s the type of person who puts others first.”
A patient recently made a Guardian Angel donation to the medical center in Wimer’s honor and had this to say about him:
“I was admitted to the hospital for my very first time and both my husband and I were very frightened. I had the pleasure of being transported from test to test by Matt. Matt was warm, bubbly, funny, kind, gentle and made my husband and I feel like we were family. I think it is important to let Matt know that no matter your role, we each play a very important part in a patient's care. Matt was our angel and we are both grateful for how he put us at ease and reassured us that we were at the right place.”
Shore Medical Center's Guardian Angel program provides an opportunity for patients and families to recognize anyone at Shore who makes a difference in their care or experience. Guardian Angels are recognized among their peers and presented with a Guardian Angel pin at Shore's annual pinning ceremony.
