Please join us in congratulating our November Employee of the Month, Karly Kevil!

After a patient was admitted to the hospital following a visit to the Emergency Center, Karly noticed that the patient’s car was parked far from where she would eventually be discharged. The patient didn’t have anyone with her who could help, and moving the car herself was not an option. Understanding that this could make the patient’s trip home more difficult, Karly graciously offered to go and move the patient’s car to a spot closer to the front of the hospital.

Thank you, Karly, for your kindness, compassion, and dedication to our patients. 💙

After suffering severe burns from a fire pit accident, 12-year-old Takkett spent time in our Burn Center undergoing multiple surgeries. Our Burn Center team quickly learned about his love for showing livestock.

Due to his injuries, he was going to miss showing is steers and pigs at the fair this year. Our amazing team brought the show to him complete with a balloon pig and his very own Burn Center Livestock Show & Auction!

Staff joined in on the fun, bidding donuts, M&Ms, and even cash from Dr. Griswold and Dr. Stash, crowning Takkett as Grand Champion!
He left for rehab with a smile on his face, a bit of prize money in his pocket, and a whole hospital family cheering him on.

It’s moments like these that show the heart of our UMC family, caring for patients not only with skill, but with love. 💙
