|  Gloria has served most recently as nurse manager in Family Maternity 
			Suites. She began her career at age 16 and worked as a nurse's aide 
			for four years. She spent 23 years as labor nurse at Memorial 
			Medical Center before coming to ALMH. "When I went back to nursing 
			school, my dream had always been to return to ALMH someday as a 
			nurse," she said. "It has been a delight to return here and be a 
			part of building the new hospital." ALMH will host a celebration in honor of Gloria on Friday from 
			2-4 p.m. in Steinfort Conference Room A (lower level). Cake and 
			punch will be served.  "We spend more working time with our co-workers than we do most 
			of our relatives, and they become our extended families," she said. 
			"I will always cherish the relationships I have formed here and the 
			opportunity I had to return to ALMH." [Text from file received
