After retiring from his position as a union laborer for over 24
years, Frost began volunteering at the hospital. Eventually, he took
the position of valet and brings a smile to everyone who walks
through the doors at ALMH. In his position, Frost valet parks
anywhere from five to 16 vehicles each morning. Oftentimes, you'll
find Frost helping people in and out of their cars and assisting
with any other needs they may have as they enter the hospital.
"Working at ALMH gives me an opportunity to work with and serve
great people," Frost said. "I like being available to help people
and let them know that it's going to be OK. Helping people is
important to me."
Frost was nominated for the honor by an anonymous person who
stated: "Tom gives 100% to make ... each patient's visit to ALMH a
great one. He is polite and always there to help them, not just
parking their car, but assisting them by wheelchair or by giving
them an arm to lean on while entering the hospital. He knows nearly
everyone who comes often by name and makes them feel really
special."

A second anonymous nominator said: "As a car stops in the front
drive, Tom is waiting to help the person from their car and into the
hospital to where they need to go. Tom is a great asset to ALMH."
Frost was born and raised in Missouri but has lived in Lincoln
for over 20 years. He enjoys babysitting his grandsons, hiking,
helping with Habitat for Humanity and watching movies. He has been
married for 36 years and has four children, two grandsons and is
expecting a granddaughter on Christmas Day.
