[February 24, 2016]  LINCOLN - Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital has announced Mark Craig of Emden as the February Employee of the Month. Craig joined ALMH in 2014 as a sports enhancement specialist in the rehabilitation department.

“I am so proud to be part of ALMH, the people I work with are all dedicated to helping our patients and we work well together. We share our ideas and knowledge in order to get the best possible outcome for every patient and I see that throughout the hospital. It’s amazing and very humbling to be part of the ALMH team,” said Craig.
