Rogers named September 2019 ALMH Colleague of the Month

[September 16, 2019]  Jenny Rogers of Clinton has been named the September Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Colleague of the Month.

Rogers serves as a charge nurse in the emergency department at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln. She has worked at ALMH for nine years. She holds an associate degree in nursing from Richland Community College and a bachelor’s of science in nursing from Benedictine University.

She has several certifications and trainings including basic life skills, pediatric advanced life support, advanced cardiac life support, emergency communications registered nurse, trauma nurse core course, trauma nurse certification and neonatal resuscitation program. She also teachers pediatric advanced life support classes.

The charge nurse role brings Rogers the opportunity to do a variety of tasks throughout a typical day. In addition to treating patients, Rogers responds to all rapid response calls throughout the hospital, reviews lab cultures, and works with her team to brainstorm solutions to problems throughout the day.

“Every day can be very different in the emergency department but overall we work together to give our patients the best care,” said Rogers. It is clear that she enjoys her position and working at ALMH.

“ALMH offers a lot of great programs for this community and always comes up with new things to better the community. There are a lot of great people who work here. And because we are a smaller hospital, it really does feel like a family,” said Rogers.

She was nominated by a colleague to recognize her positive attitude and dedication to patient advocacy and staff safety.

ALMH is a 25-bed critical access hospital located at 200 Stahlhut Drive in Lincoln, Illinois and is an affiliate of Memorial Health System. For more information about ALMH, visit ALMH.org.
