May 21, 2025

Our Latest Field Staff Recognition Winner

Preferred is excited to introduce Micah Patterson, a superb Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) who works in the Skilled Nursing Facility setting with our client in Salinas, California. Micah’s recruiter, Leticia Sellers, had the following to say about nominating her:

“I just want to recognize Micah for the incredible work she’s done during her time with us. From day one, she’s shown what it means to truly care—not just about the work, but about the people. She’s a hard worker who gives her best every day, and it shows in how much her patients trust her and how much her coworkers enjoy working alongside her. Her communication is clear, thoughtful, and kind, and she brings a positive, uplifting energy that truly makes a difference. It’s been a pleasure having her on our team—she’s made a lasting impact, and I’m so grateful for everything she brings to each assignment.”
