Thanks For Working Here This Week: Jamie Mooney

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.

Introducing Jamie Mooney, the Employee Safety Coordinator for CCH’s Professional Development, Infection Prevention, Employee Health and Case Management departments in Campbell County, Wyoming. Jamie has worked for CCH for 16 years and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety and Health.

The wellbeing of our employees always has to be a priority, but now more than ever. Jamie plays a large role in protecting our staff, so we can serve our community. Jamie initially started working health care at CCH Rehabilitation Services. As she came to know the patients and their families, she realized that her interactions with those patients accomplished something good!

“I felt fortunate to be with them on their journey as they recovered, even if it was for a short period of time,” she said.

What started as ”just a job” that she didn’t envision working for long became a profession that she can’t imagine doing anywhere else but in health care.

When Jamie isn’t working as a guardian of safety for our staff, you can find her spending time with her family or reading in her spare time. Jamie’s family enjoys camping and traveling together. They also are the lucky recipients of her love for baking and cooking.

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

“For a long time, employee safety in healthcare was always put ‘on the back burner’ with patient safety always coming first. I’ve slowly seen that way of thinking change. Now, employee safety is starting to become just as important as patient safety. Our employees are important and I’m proud to be a part of processes that support our employees. We are always learning and changing and there are still improvements that we need to make. But, we are on the right track!

“I always think of the golden rule, ‘treat others as you would like to be treated’ for excellence every day. Working in healthcare for so long can make us forget that while we see these situations daily, the patient does not. To them, this is their world right now, and it’s scary! Recently I was not only an employee, but also a patient, and I can’t express the gratitude I felt for the healthcare providers and staff that took the time to make me feel taken care of and to understand the situation I was in at the time.”

She also gives kudos to her team, saying that she works with an amazing group in Professional Development.

Jamie, we appreciate the care you take in keeping employees and patients safe. We are proud to have you on our team.
