Thanks for working here Thursday: Lori Archer, RN, The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center

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 Lori Archer, a registered nurse (RN) at The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center in Gillette, Wyoming. Lori knew early on that she would grow up to become a caregiver. Lori began her healthcare career as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Basic in 1991, as well as an independent first aid instructor. In 1993, she also became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). In 1993, she started working for CCH in Emergency Medical Services and at Pioneer Manor as a CNA.

“At first, I thought I would become a veterinarian or be in veterinary medicine, since I grew up on a ranch in Idaho. But after starting a family, I learned that true calling was in nursing,” she says.

Outside of work, Lori’s favorite things to do include spending time with her eight grandchildren, taking care of her farm animals, riding horses, hiking, camping and doing yard work.

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

“I enjoy working in Short-Term Rehabilitation because it is a fast-paced department where we provide individualized care that constantly changes.

To me, excellence every day means always trying to do better—to exceed expectations and continually strive to be better than you were the day before. It also means you have to be willing and committed to accept and adapt to change. Excellence is not just one thing; it is about having pride in where you work, having high standards in what you do, mentoring and encouraging others, and making someone else’s day better.”

We couldn’t agree more, Lori. Thank you for being a part of our team. We appreciate you.

The Legacy offers both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation. The facility is certified to accept private pay, Medicare, Medicaid and Veteran’s Administration Contract residents. You can learn more about The Legacy at www.legacywyo.org.
