Brett Bollmann, CEO at Memorial Hospital named Emily Colvis Employee of the Quarter for the First Quarter 2024 on April 25, 2024.
Emily Colvis, LPN at the Rural Health Clinics, has worked at Memorial Hospital since August of 2022. When asked what she likes most about working at Memorial, she replied, “What I love most about working for Memorial Hospital is the amazing close-knit family that has been curated here. After leaving MH for several years and coming back it was like arriving back at home. I have always known that nursing was a passion for me, but MH has made my passion not feel like a job but more so an opportunity to give back to the community.”
Her co-workers who nominated her wrote, “This employee goes above and beyond for our patients. She is always willing to step in and help with whatever job it may be to get it taken care of. She is always a team player and never complains! She is great at explaining things to patients in a way that they can understand. Very compassionate and caring!"
"She is always willing and asking all departments at the clinic if they need help with anything, but most important Emily’s personality brings a ray of light to the clinic for not only her co-workers but also her patients. This employee makes patients and employees laugh with her spunky attitude and she always knows how to make them feel comfortable."
"She has been seen putting her clinical nursing skills to work even outside of the hospital at sporting events when players may be injured. She is a true asset to Memorial Hospital!”
Colvis resides in Ellis Grove, IL with her daughter. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her daughter and watching her journey into her nursing career while building memories with rodeos, concerts, ballgames, and hockey.
Each quarter employees are encouraged to submit “star cards” for their co-workers who go above and beyond in their patient care or teamwork. Four random cards were drawn at the award presentation for Bernie Ernst, Environmental Services Floor Technician; Heather Wingerter, RHC Medical Assistant; Molly Ebers, RHC LPN; and Jennifer Donjon, Lead Lab RHC Phlebotomist.
