🌟 Mission Partner Monday: Meet Cathy Sterchi 🌟

Cathy is a Dietary Aide at OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center, where she helps prepare and serve meals, ensures food safety, and works closely with dietitians to meet patients’ dietary needs. She’s been part of the OSF family for 4 years and brings joy and dedication to the kitchen every day.

Her favorite part of the job? Donut Day! 🍩 Cathy loves the camaraderie with her fellow kitchen Mission Partners and the chance to make patients feel comfortable during their stay by providing great food and service.

Fun Fact: Cathy once took a round-trip motorcycle adventure from Illinois to California! 🏍️

Thank you, Cathy, for serving with the greatest care and love! 💜
