For years, Katie Uhl dealt with pain in her abdomen.

"At my core, I knew something was wrong," Katie said. "Since my teens, I always felt pain and I just thought it was normal."

Katie was referred to Dr. Kevin Jensen at the Utah Endometriosis Center at MountainStar Healthcare's St. Mark's Hospital. Just days after she met with the endometriosis specialist, surgery was scheduled. Her body was so riddled with the disease, endometrial-like tissue had spread extensively throughout the pelvis and beyond, including on her diaphragm.

"You’d think post-surgery you’d be in pain, but I had felt better than I had in like 10 years," she said.

For half a century, Marianne Hanks has served hospital patients in Payson, Utah – that’s five impressive decades of dedication.

And no, she doesn’t have plans for retirement. In fact, she says she can’t imagine leaving Mountain View Hospital because of the people she gets to serve and serve with.

“It was way different when I first started scheduling for the OR. There were maybe 10 physicians to schedule, and I wrote everything down in my book. The referring physician offices didn’t send us any paperwork; they just called and talked with me on the phone. Then, I would type up the schedule and all the information and take it to each floor so that everyone knew how many patients were coming,” Marrianne said.

How things have changed. The number of physicians credentialed at the hospital has increased exponentially. In addition to publicly announced additions over the years, such as surgical robotics and an entirely new surgical services department, ways of planning and communicating have changed behind the scenes.

To work in the healthcare industry for 50 years straight, one must be loyal and adaptable — and Marianne is clearly both. Marianne’s hospital days began before e-mails and fax machines, and way before electronic medical records, scheduling systems and computerized physician order entry systems.
