Michael Starr, DO
Emergency Medicine |
“An emergency
situation is a scary time for any family. I realize
that a family is entrusting the health of their
loved one to me, and I don’t take that lightly.
I’m here to provide the best and most compassionate
care to all patients, whether it’s stitches
for a child or something more severe to help save
a life. That’s why I practice emergency medicine.”

Lorna Ranck, RN
Hospice Nurse |
“For most home
health care providers, the goal is to get the patient
feeling better again. In my role as a hospice nurse,
I know that it’s not likely that the patient
will get well. I make it a point to focus on giving
the patient comfort and support
rather than a cure, and to be there to aid the family
in the overwhelming grief they feel during such a
difficult time. When a patient dies, my hospice care
doesn’t end, the healing process begins.”

Pat Yost
Laboratory Technician |
“Waiting to hear test results
can be very troubling for people. Sometimes a simple
blood test can provide the answer to a life or death
situation for a person.
I may not be in the room when the doctor tells a patient
that the results are just fine, but I feel satisfied
in knowing that I played a role in providing prompt,
accurate results.”

Jackie Mast, RN
Second Surgical |
“Being a nurse in the town
I grew up in is very important to me. I’m glad
that I can give back by taking care of the people
in my community. Until you have worked somewhere else
you don't appreciate the rewards of working in such
a great community hospital. Patients aren’t
treated like a number here. There is a strong commitment
to patient care that exceeds all else - this I think
is very rare.”

Alan D. Griswold, RPh
Pharmacist |
“My job is very rewarding.
The thanks that I get from the patients, customers,
doctors and nurses is very special. Evangelical gives
me the chance to provide a personal touch to my professional
services. I can help to educate the community through
programs while providing high quality services to
a wide range of customers - both inside and outside
of the hospital walls.”
