Jaimie Yahnker – a dedicated team member of ECU Health Medical Center, celebrated his retirement on January 14th, 2026. He worked for over 40 years at this organization and has held various roles in Hospitality/ Department of Experience, the Education Department, Human Resources, in the Insurance Department under Financial Services and as a support associate in The Rehabilitation Center in Greenville, NC. He attributes many of his career opportunities as “Divine Intervention”, but he demonstrated an outstanding work ethic wherever he worked. He has been recognized as a role model for patients and their families, inspiring them to achieve success in their own lives.
He graduated with a degree in Human Services and has supported many individuals with disabilities throughout his career. He has been a resource and an advocate for individuals with disabilities both at ECU Health and in the Pitt County greater community. He served on The City of Greenville Parks and Recreation Commission Board and The Pitt Area Transit System (PATS) Advisory Board. He served as the president for the Support Team for Active Recreation (STAR) for 20 years – creating opportunities for adapted recreation for individuals with a variety of different diagnoses who were interested in participating in recreational activities in a different way.
We are grateful to Jaimie for all that he has done for our organization and the community for the last four decades of his life. He has been an inspiration to us all.
