Thornberry Announces 2010 System Manager Award

Newton, NJ. (June 7, 2010) – Thornberry Ltd is pleased to announce Cecelia Clayton, Executive Director of Karen Ann Quinlan Memorial Foundation, as the 2010 recipient of its “System Manager of the Year” award. Presented at Thornberry’s recent user conference, Cecilia was recognized for her dedication to achieving NDoc® expertise.

Clayton manages a successful hospice and home care operation, which under her leadership has doubled in size in the past four years. She is the driving force of Karen Ann Quinlan Memorial Foundation’s successful implementation and management of Thornberry’s home health & hospice software, NDoc. Clayton ensures strategic use of the NDoc system across two lines of business spanning a total of three offices in western New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.

“Cecelia has true dedication to the success of home care and hospice and she’s shown this through her commitment to her community, the tremendous growth of Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice and Homecare and her strategic use of NDoc,” said Tom Peth, Thornberry’s President. “Our relationship with Cecelia and Karen Ann Quinlan Memorial Foundation showcases the strong customer partnerships we pride ourselves on.”

In addition to her many responsibilities as Executive Director, Clayton has been mastering NDoc since 2004. Karen Ann Quinlan Memorial Foundation does not have an IT department, so Clayton has taken a very active approach in managing the system and the efficiency of its use among her staff. Clayton continues to find ways to utilize the system to help the agency meet its fast paced growth.
