Oleatha Kegler, LPN, Receives 2009 "Julia C. Rogers Excellence in Service Award"
In celebration of National Hospital Week and National Nursing Home Week, Memorial Hospital and Manor honored its employees, physicians and volunteers on May 14th with an annual awards program and picnic lunch. The presentation of the prestigious Julia C. Rogers "Excellence in Service" Award was the highlight of an informal awards program, which also included the presentation of service pins. The Julia C. Rogers "Excellence in Service" Award is given annually to a Memorial Hospital and Manor employee whose commitment to serving patients extends beyond assigned responsibilities and whose caring efforts offer inspiration to others. The award has been given annually since 1990 in honor of the late Mrs. Julia C. Rogers, a Memorial Hospital and Manor nurse whose compassion and commitment touched patients, as well as employees, of the hospital and nursing home. This year's "Julia C. Rogers" award winner is Oleatha Kegler, an LPN who has worked in Memorial Hospital and Manor's Womens Center for over 20 years.
Memorial Manor Resident Celebrates 100th Birthday
Memorial Manor resident Elizabeth Brewer celebrated her 100th birthday on June 19, with the help of Sharon Vickers of WalMart, Sue Steiner of bainbridgega.com, and Manor staff. Since none of Mrs. Brewer's relatives live in Bainbridge, WalMart supplied a cake, flowers and gifts for the birthday party, and the hospital Gift Shop provided balloons and a teddy bear. Mrs. Brewer is a former first grade teacher. She said that being 100 years old is not so bad. She can still get out of bed and walk to the Manor dining room with her walker. She has good reason to be proud of this important milestone.
