Andria Zweigart, Director of Diagnostic Imaging at Memorial Hospital, participated in a virtual commencement ceremony for Webster University on May 9th, 2020. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Master of Business Administration degree. She is a member of the Delta Mu Delta honor society in business and a recipient of the 2019 DMD Board Award scholarship.
Zweigart decided to peruse her degree to further her education and assist with her current position as Director of Diagnostic Imaging. The additional education will help with developing ideas and solutions for improving patient care at Memorial. “I enjoy providing great quality exams with updates seen in purchasing current, low radiation dose, equipment for the community to better services,” states Zweigart. The diagnostic imaging department has recently added 3D Mammogram Screenings, X-ray equipment to go fully digital, US Stress Echocardiograms, and CT Lung Screening to increase patient services at the hospital.
Zweigart’s degree also benefits her extracurricular involvement in community organizational work with the Evansville Public Library, where she is the board president, and as an active PTO member with the Evansville Attendance Center. “As an advocate for education, I am involved with fundraising events and developing informational access including historical newspaper preservation and children reading programs,” says Zweigart. She is thankful for the opportunity to pursue higher education to assist in her roles inside the hospital and outside in the community.
“The support I received from my family and their ever encouraging words made the journey a worthwhile experience,” expressed Zweigart. Though the final graduation ceremony was conducted virtually, it was a pleasant alternative that still allowed her to share the experience with her husband and children who supported her the most on her journey.
