Jennifer Donjon and Brett Bollmann, CEO

Brett Bollmann, CEO at Memorial Hospital named Jennifer Donjon Employee of the Quarter for the First Quarter 2026 on April 8, 2026.

Jennifer Donjon, Lab Lead Rural Health Clinic Phlebotomist at Memorial Hospital, has been employed at Memorial since November 2011. When asked what she likes most about working at Memorial, she replied, “The team I work with each day, including both providers and staff. I appreciate being part of a supportive environment where everyone is committed to quality care. It is especially rewarding to have the opportunity to help patients and make a positive impact on their laboratory experience. The breakfast tornados are also top notch and a great highlight when available for the day!”

Multiple nominations were submitted on her behalf that expressed why Donjon was a valid candidate. She was praised by her coworkers across multiple departments for her exceptional knowledge, reliability, and dedication. “She is the person everyone turns to, whether it’s solving lab issues, helping with patient concerns, or supporting staff with questions. She approaches every situation with calmness, kindness, and professionalism.”

“She consistently goes above and beyond, stepping in wherever needed, often even outside her normal work hours. Her positive attitude lifts the entire team, and her compassion creates a comforting experience for every patient she meets.”

Jen embodies excellence in job performance, teamwork, and patient care. She makes her workplace stronger, kinder, and more supportive every single day and Memorial is honored to name her as the Employee of the Quarter.

Donjon resides in Prairie du Rocher, IL with her husband and their three daughters. When she is not at work, she loves spending time with family and friends; camping and making the most of pool days at home together.

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 Apryl Bradshaw, Administrative Assistant; Bernie Ernst, Floor Tech; Heather Phelps, RN; and Amy Mathis, Cardiac Pulmonary Rehab Nurse Manager.
