We are incredibly proud to recognize Cindy Zimmerman, a nurse whose compassion and quick thinking recently saved a life on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. As reported by Temple Health, Cindy sprang into action while off duty, using her professional expertise to help a driver in cardiac distress until emergency responders arrived. [templehealth.org]

What makes this story even more meaningful to us is that Cindy also works part-time at The Highlands at Wyomissing Staffing Agency. Her willingness to step in, stay calm under pressure, and put others first, whether on the job or simply driving home, perfectly reflects the character and professionalism we value.

Cindy exemplifies the type of dedicated, compassionate employees we strive to hire and celebrate every day. We are proud to have her as part of our extended Highlands family.
