Congrats to Melissa Gideon, PRSC Clinical Manager

Melissa Gideon, RN, (or Mel, as she likes to be called), loved her job as a registered nurse, caring for residents at Pioneer Manor, until a recommendation from a former teacher at Gillette College landed her a job at Powder River Surgery Center in 2013.

“The residents bought me a cake,” says Mel. “I cried the whole day when I left that job.”

It didn’t take long for Mel to get the surgery bug, and eventually she took advantage of the opportunity for a leadership role at the PRSC. She learned most of the clinical roles and helped support her colleagues during the transition to Campbell County Health ownership. Mel is especially grateful to Interim Director Colleen Heeter.

“Colleen is a great leader and I’m grateful for the chance to work under her,” says Mel.

Mel has definite plans for the future too. She is going to start working on a business degree in the fall, in order understand all parts of the PRSC operations.

Please join CCH as we congratulate Mel in her new role!
