Thanks for working here Thursday: Samantha Jones, MA-C, PBT, CCMG Neurology

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.

Say hello to Samantha Jones, a Medical Assistant (MA-C) and phlebotomist (PBT) in the Campbell County Medical Group Neurology clinic. Samantha has worked for CCH for the last five years and is looking forward to many more. In fact, she’s currently enrolled at Gillette College to further her career in health care.

Samantha was inspired to work in health care by her father, a volunteer firefighter who taught her at a young age the basics of first aid. “That sparked my interest, but when I was in high school I donated blood and thought that this would be an interesting career. I enrolled in the phlebotomy class offered by CCH and was accepted. I was lucky enough to get hired on at the Campbell County Memorial Hospital Lab shortly after that,” she says.

Samantha is very glad for that first job in the Lab. “I have learned so much over the past five years. I would have to say every single person I have come in contact with has inspired me in some way, shape, or form. I like to say Christy Mayard was my lab mom and taught me everything they don’t teach you in the books. She is hard-working and dedicated to patients and co-workers. I hope I am half the phlebotomist she is,” says Samantha.

Outside of work, Samantha has been dedicating a lot of her time working on homework, but she most enjoys spending time with her family—her husband, who she married in October 2016 and her 1½-year-old niece are two people she enjoys spending a lot of time with. “I also like to travel. I just returned from a vacation in Argentina and can’t wait to plan my next adventure,” she says.

We asked Samantha what she likes most about working for CCH, and what excellence every day means to her. Check out her response:

“Neurology is so fascinating! I truly enjoy coming to work every day. Dr. Mosquera is wonderful to work for--he is very kind and really takes his time with patients. I also enjoy working with Joni Ewers, RN. I met Joni last year and she is so supportive inside and outside of work, also has some pretty entertaining stories about her kids. She makes me laugh every day! My favorite part of my job is when patients can come back and be truly happy with the care that was provided. Working at CCH has taught me a lot, and I am so thankful for all of the opportunities CCH has provided me.

Excellence every day to me means that I am a part of a team. I’ll work as a team member and provide great care for our patients.”

Thanks for being such a team player, Samantha. We appreciate you!
