Recognizing Achievements, Inspiring Others
Here’s what past Health Hall of Fame honorees have said about the program:
“Winning the Health Hall of Fame honor has provided me with a platform to ‘pay it forward.’ It's been wonderful to share my journey with co-workers and provide them with a bit of inspiration. My success was in part due to finding people who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. I hope I was, and continue to be, that ‘someone’ for my colleagues here at MoBap.”
-- Melissa Kron, RN, business development manager, physician services, Missouri Baptist Medical Center
“I feel quite honored to be a Health Hall of Fame winner. It is such an accomplishment to be recognized for my efforts to promote health literacy at work and access to health care in the community. The program has afforded me the opportunity to work with other people with similar interests who have in turn supported my efforts. It was a blast to celebrate the honor all year long!”
-- Gwen Cabe, assistant administrator, Village North Rehabilitation and Nursing Center
“I reached my goal on April 15, 2010, losing a total of 126 pounds. My boss nominated me for the BJC Health Hall of Fame. Only one person from each BJC entity wins. I won and got to represent SLCH on the field before a Cardinals game. Then the winners received VIP treatment in the BJC box. It was a fun-filled day.”
-- Theresa Roe, RN, St. Louis Children’s Hospital Answer Line
