Thanks for working here Thursday: Cindy, Pioneer Manor

Campbell County Health is proud of its employees, and we want the CCH family and the Campbell County community to know about the good work that they do for this organization.

Meet Cindy, a Social Worker at Pioneer Manor long term care facility. Cindy earned a bachelor's degree in social work from Chadron State College, and is a Certified Dementia Practitioner—something she is very proud of. She's been with CCH for the past five years, after she and her husband transferred to Gillette from Alliance, Nebraska with BNSF. Cindy's primary role as a social worker at Pioneer Manor is to be an advocate for the residents—and that means she is a liaison for the residents families, helps to resolve issues and concerns, develops care plans for residents, and so much more. In this role, Cindy has developed a Dealing With Dementia class with support from Professional Development, which is targeted at helping staff provide better care for residents with dementia.

We asked Cindy what she likes most about working at CCH and what Excellence Every Day means to her. Her response:

"CCH has given me the opportunity to grow and learn—especially with the dementia program, where I feel I've really found my niche. I work with skilled and very caring people, who continuously encourage me to be better.

To me, excellence every day means that I'm giving my personal best, every day—even on the days when I really don't feel like my best."

Thank you, Cindy, for going the extra mile every day for our residents, patients, families, visitors and coworkers. We are proud to have you as part of our team.
