Thanks for working here Thursday: RJ Thomas, Master Electrician, CCH Plant Operations

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

Meet RJ Thomas, a Master Electrician (and key guru) in CCH’s Plant Operations Department. RJ completed the electrical program at Gillette College and is certified as a Master Electrician by the state of Wyoming. He’s been formally employed by CCH for three months; however, he worked as a contractor for CCH for 11 years!

For those who don't know, Plant Operations supports patient care by providing a well-maintained, safe and comfortable environment for patients, visitors and staff. RJ is part of a team that performs routine building and ground maintenance and construction planning to meet the changing needs of our community.

RJ says he enjoys working in healthcare because of the complexity of its electrical systems. “The challenge of updating and maintaining, paired with the ever changing new technology and advancements in healthcare keep this job interesting,” he says.

Outside of work, you will find RJ spending time with his family. RJ spends a lot of time “chasing around my 2-year-old daughter, and wood working. I love to be outside, whether it's hunting, fishing or wandering around the mountains.”

We asked RJ what he likes most about working at CCH, and what excellence every day means to him. Check out his response:

“Although I don't provide direct patient care, I like knowing that the work I do helps to ensure that patients have a safe and comfortable experience and is part of what allows the other employees at CCH to take great care of everyone who visits this facility. Even before I was employed by CCH, I was lucky enough to work alongside the Plant Operations Team. They are a great group who work hard, come together as a team and make coming to work fun.

To me, Excellence Everyday means bringing your best attitude to work every day no matter the circumstances and giving it 110 percent.”

Thank you, RJ, for your hard work and dedication to CCH. We appreciate you!
