The month of October proved to be another busy month for the health center!
Here in South Dakota it has been very dry, and the temperatures have been unseasonably mild. It’s great for getting in those much needed chances to be outside amongst the colors of fall, whether it be to go for a walk with a friend or work in our yards, but the allergies here in Chamberlain have been unbearable! We have seen many of our students and staff for allergen ailments as well as the so called “regular” viral infections moving through a few families.
I had the opportunity to skip work for four days to attend one of St. Joseph’s donor luncheons that was held in Denver, Colorado. This was my first time to attend an event like this so I had no idea what to expect. Not only was I the chaperone of the two female students who spoke to our guests, I also had the privilege to visit with several donors.
Since I love to talk so much, I truly enjoyed this aspect of the luncheon. I felt this was an opportunity for me to give my opinion on all the great things St Joseph’s does for our students, for their families and for their employees. St. Joseph’s has about 200 employees, so we are one of the largest employers in this area.
I was proud to tell people at the luncheon the advantages of working at a St Joseph’s. Not only is it a religious organization, but a family-oriented employer as well. It is a place where I am honored to provide health and wellness to so many people!
Yes, attending the donor luncheon was a wonderful opportunity for me to tell others how much I enjoy my job and love working with the student and employees at St. Joseph’s Indian School!
