Meet Joey, our first Behind the Badge spotlight and Loyola University Medical Center's CVICU’s Employee of the Month.
Joey has been a nurse for seven years, but his journey started long before that when his dad had a stroke and he witnessed the power of compassionate nursing care. Joey promised himself he’d treat every patient like family, and he’s been living that promise every day since.
One of Joey’s favorite parts about working at Loyola Medicine is the people. He’ll tell you he’s surrounded by some of the most determined, compassionate and dedicated nurses he’s ever met, colleagues who teach him something new every day and make even the hardest shifts feel lighter. “I get to work alongside incredible nurses,” he says. “I’m very fortunate.”
Outside of work, he’s a proud partner to Aaron, dad to 3.5‑year‑old Jorden, new puppy parent to Scout… and fun fact: he once competed on Wheel of Fortune!
