Highlighting this year’s honorees were RN Supervisor in Women and Newborn Services Jennifer Lance and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Chad Labrum who each celebrate 30 years with Ashley Regional Medical Center, and Engineer Tech Veronica Martin who celebrates 40 years. Taylor added, “I think it’s important to note, we greatly appreciate the work and dedication of all our staff. However, a special mention and thank you needs to go to the support of each person’s family. Over the past 20+ months, staff have been pulled away from their families more due to staffing shortages and we appreciate the support and understanding their family has provided during this pandemic.”
