A New Year Brings Many Changes
The end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 has been filled with many changes in the management team at CHCS! With so many changes it has been hard to communicate them as timely as we would like.
Starting with changes among the lead nurses:
· Holton - Brandy Watkins has decided to focus strictly on patient care and take a staff nurse position at the Holton clinic. Brandy will continue to serve as Dr. Allen's nurse. With that change, we are happy to announce that we hired Lura Goff to be the lead nurse at Holton.
· Frankfort - Stacy Vermetten accepted a management position at a Long-Term Care facility that is much closer to her home. We wish Stacy the best in her new adventure. Joanie Hosfelt is now the Lead RN for the Frankfort clinic. Joanie has worked for CHCS in the Holton/Frankfort Clinic since 2019 and will do a wonderful job in her new role.
Environmental Services at Holton is now managed by Ronnie Jones. Ronnie will continue to serve as the manager for Environmental Services at Onaga. He has a lot of experience with training people on terminal cleans and working with teams. Ronnie is excited to have the opportunity to work with the Holton clinic. Ronnie reports to Andrea Lutz, Director of Ancillary Services
Clarification and re-assignment of maintenance accountabilities/responsibilities:
Gordon Beightel now serves as the Maintenance manager for our entire system. Gordon oversees maintenance at all facilities.
Gordon reports directly to Todd Willert, CEO.
· Roger McAsey, the maintenance supervisor at St. Marys, will collaborate with Shannon Heim and Gordon on maintenance needs at our St Marys campus.
· Cole Childs is the maintenance supervisor at Centralia. For Eastridge specifically, Gordon, Cole and Lura Flentie will collaborate on maintenance needs.
· For Holton, Frankfort and Westmoreland, Gordon will be the manager contact.
We have also experienced some changes in our senior care services:
· Redbud Assisted living is happy to announce that Shelli Wimberly is the new Nurse/Operator. Shelli has been serving as DON for Eastridge for the past 8 years, and decided she would like to have a little change and Redbud was the perfect fit. Shelli will be outstanding in her new role and the residents will love her.
· Trevor Shuler has been promoted to DON for Eastridge. Trevor has worked for Eastridge as a staff nurse since October 2018. Trevor is excited for her new role with Eastridge and we are excited to have her!
Finally, we have a few changes to announce in our laboratory. As many of you are aware, Eduardo Bertulfo’s last day as Lab manager for CHCS was in December of 2023.
· Irene Gingoyon is now the Lab manager - Hospital while Danica Bato will serve as Lab Manager - Clinics. Irene has been with CHCS since March of 2019 and Danica has been with CHCS since July of 2017. Irene will have responsibility for our main lab on Onaga as well as the Onaga clinic lab while Danica will oversee the labs located in each of our rural clinics. They will each do a great job in their new roles.
