Cathy Albert named August Employee of the Month at ALMH

[August 13, 2012]  Cathy Albert has been named the August Employee of the Month at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln, where she works as a linen technician in the environmental services department. Her positive attitude is what garnered the honor.

"Cathy's heart is as big as they get, and she is such a help to us besides taking care of linen every day ... which is no easy task. She is always there when you need help and will do a person's work when they are off that day and never complain," said her co-workers in the nomination.

Albert has worked at ALMH for 28 years. She likes working there because she loves seeing patients happy when she cleans their rooms and takes pride in lending a helping hand if she meets someone in the hallway and helps them find their way.

"ALMH is a great place to work. I have a great boss, great co-workers and we do great things for the patients we serve," she said.

She was born at St. Clara's Hospital in Lincoln and has spent most of her life living in Lincoln with the exception of briefly living in Springfield. She and her husband, Tom, have three daughters, Tina, Desirae and Kaya, and a son, Floyd. She has three grandsons, Kyle, Alex and Braydon, and a great-grandson, Riley. She enjoys scrapbooking, working in the garden, walking and attending her family's sporting events.

ALMH is a 25-bed critical-access hospital located at 200 Stahlhut Drive in Lincoln, Illinois and is an affiliate of Memorial Health System. ALMH employs 310 in a variety of roles. Each month someone is honored as Employee of the Month. For more information about ALMH, visit almh.org.
