It’s been my blessing to be in the healing profession for over
thirty years in various leadership roles. I am especially proud to be one
of the current stewards of this remarkable caring ministry. Our employees
care for one another, and for our patients, as if they were Christ, in
the face of another. Our goal is to offer only exceptional services, technologies
and facilities to our patients while assuring Gods healing presence in
all we do. |

I’ve accomplished my professional growth one step at a time,
one role at a time, adding education and experience along the way. I
started my nursing career at St. Mary’s in 1979 as an LPN. Over
the past 27 years, I’ve been blessed to work with many wonderful
nurses and mentors. I’m thrilled to have returned to St. Mary’s
Hospital in the role of Assistant Administrator and Chief Nurse Executive.
I am a nurse. I am by heart, mind and profession a patient advocate.
Each and every human life is a precious gift. Regardless of where our
patients are in their lives, be it a time of birth, of growth, of maturity,
of healing, or the precious moments as the human body ceases to function,
we are here to be of service, to meet their needs, to offer support and
share our skills and gifts. We make a difference. We are St. Mary’s
Hospital. |

I joined the administrative team of St. Mary’s
Hospital in September of 2005 and am particularly excited
to be associated with a hospital that has such a highly energized workforce,
medical staff and governing board. I’m a graduate of the
University of Florida with over thirteen years of experience in all aspects
of healthcare finance. Prior to relocating, I served
as Chief Financial Officer of a for-profit community hospital in
Connecticut. In addition to having an excellent professional
fit with St. Mary's Hospital, our relocation was an opportunity to
come home for my wife Kim, who grew up in Illinois. Kim and
I are enjoying Decatur and the Midwest immensely along with our three
children. I
am also on the Children’s Museum Board and serve on the President’s
Council for the Greater Decatur Chamber of Commerce. |

For more than 30 years I have been privileged to work at St. Mary’s
in a role that supports those people providing direct care for our patients. Initially,
as Human Resources Director, I helped establish the structure and process
for recruiting, compensating and providing continuing education for our
staff.
The past several years I have used my Human Resources experience to
recruit physicians and assist them in establishing their new medical
practice. It is very satisfying to help bring a physician to
the community and to have a part in the practice’s growth and
success. |

I began my career in healthcare while I was in high school. During this
period I volunteered in the late 1980’s for a local rural ambulance
agency. I have been working for the Hospital Sisters Health System since
1990 and here at St. Mary’s Hospital since 1999. I feel very fortunate
to have had the opportunities to participate in this health care ministry
in the past, and am tremendously excited about our future. I have many
years of experience providing direct patient care and feel this experience
has engrained the support of our core values; respect, care, joy, and competence.
I truly believe that the dedicated employees of St. Mary’s have made
the greatest contribution to our past and future. |

in our community every day. Our core values – care, competence,
joy and respect – are not just words. They have true meaning

I was thrilled to return to St. Mary's Hospital in 2005 as Director,
Human Resources - - I started my human resources career at St. Mary's
during a high school internship. That experience influenced me to major
in Personnel Management at Millikin University. After graduation I worked
in human resources at two Decatur companies during the past 24 years.
Since joining St. Mary's, I've experienced the total team effort
that our staff puts forth every day to contribute to our healing ministry.
St. Mary's is a special place; a caring place, and each employee plays
a unique role in carrying on the Sisters' rich tradition of healing
and compassion. Our staff contributes to our healing ministry by providing
excellent care and better health to our patients, support and comfort
to their families and friends, and excellent health care resources
to this great community we serve. Our continued success is accomplished
through the efforts of our staff who allow the hospital's values of
respect, care, joy, and competence to guide them as they provide care
to patients and interact with fellow employees. We are St. Mary's Hospital
- - A Choice You Can Believe In. |
