O'Fallon Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on June 6.
Nearly 300 Memorial Hospital Belleville, Memorial Hospital East, Memorial Care Center and Belleville Health and Sports Center employees were honored with service awards at Memorial’s annual Employee Recognition Dinner held on May 11 and Sandra Griesbaum, RN was named as Memorial’s 2017-2018 Employee of the Year out of 12 Employee of the Month candidates.
Griesbaum, a registered nurse in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) at Memorial Hospital Belleville, has worked at Memorial for nearly 42 years. Her co-workers describe her as a living, breathing example of Memorial’s mission statement as well as meticulously thorough. A resident of Waterloo, Griesbaum is highly respected for her clinical expertise and support of her peers.
A colleague said Sandy is the kind of nurse she would want taking care of her or her family. “PACU nurses use Sandy as a resource for critical questions. Her attention to detail and her caring demeanor also makes her an exceptional preceptor for new staff,” said Vickie Henry, RN, outpatient surgery department manager.
