Chad Schock​​​​

I have always been eager to stand on my own and make a difference. I have accomplished this through a devotion to service.  At the hospital, I was invited to be a part of the Patient Satisfaction Team; a small group formed to boost our patient satisfaction scores.  I was honored to be selected because I knew they saw certain qualities within me that would help the team succeed.  I have been a part of this team for over two years now and I have finally felt confident in my own voice and standing as an individual leader.    

 

After three years of working at the hospital, I volunteered to be a member of the Safety First Committee.  I represent the radiology department.  Every month, the other department volunteers and myself, meet to discuss safety concerns.  We also try to brainstorms ways to correct unsafe work behavior.  Through the use of posters, we go over a different "tool" every month that reminds people of safe practices.

HOSPITAL ACTIVITIES/ SERVICE/ VOLUNTEER

​

• Donate hygiene products to nursing homes during COVID-19

  • The hospital set up collection units​ where people donated shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, etc to donate to an area nursing home.  We also wrote cards and donated some adult coloring books and word finds. 

• Harvest of Harmony Parade

  • The hospital participated in the State-wide band competition by having a business float.  I helped decorate the float as well as walked through the parade representing the radiology department.​

• Trunk or Treat 

  • Two years ago, the hospital started a new tradition of hosting a Trunk or Treat in our parking lot.  This has provided a safe place for families to get candy to celebrate Halloween.​

• Donate blood at the American Red Cross 

  • So far, I have donated 17 units and I hope to someday exceed my Dad's total of ​21 gallons.

• Organ Donor
