Bothwell Recognizes Employees For Service

Bothwell Regional Health Center recently hosted a luncheon to recognize its employees who reached career milestones in 2023 and announce its 2023 Employee of the Year.

Support staff, nurses, advanced practice providers and physicians were honored for their years of service to the organization and 12 employee of the month recipients were recognized.

Members of the Bothwell Board of Trustees presented employees with service pins and certificates. CEO Lori Wightman said she was honored to celebrate those who have helped shape the organization.

“Bothwell Regional Health Center would not be what it is today without the commitment and hard work of the employees we recognized,” she said. “On behalf of the board and everyone who works and cares for patients, I am deeply appreciative of their service to our patients, their coworkers and to Bothwell.”

Employees were recognized for reaching service milestones beginning at five years to 50.
