75 Faces of Healthcare | Celebrating 75 Years
In honor of our 75th Anniversary, we are recognizing employees across different departments, from those who have served our hospital the longest to those just beginning their journey. Today, we are spotlighting two members of our Facility Operations team who help keep our hospital safe, efficient, and running smoothly every day.
Mike Rich
Director of Facility Operations
โจ Years of Service: 20 years
๐ Why Healthcare: I chose healthcare engineering as a career because I wanted to make a difference. I believe our community and staff deserve a hospital that runs smoothly so our clinical partners can do their jobs efficiently.
๐ฅ Favorite Part of the Job: Problem-solving. No two days are the same. One day may involve solving an electrical issue, and the next, a construction project.
๐ Fun Fact: I was born in this hospital 51 years ago, when it was called Sampson Memorial Hospital.
Bradley Latza
Plant Operations / Maintenance Mechanic
โจ Years of Service: 1.5 years
๐ Why Healthcare: I feel that working here makes every day unique and challenging, which I enjoy.
๐ฅ Favorite Part of the Job: I enjoy interacting with my coworkers and meeting new people.
๐ Fun Fact: Iโm a big NASCAR fan and attend at least one race each season.
Thank you, Mike and Bradley, for helping keep our hospital running strong and for supporting our mission of growing a healthier community.
