💬 Get to Know Paula
What led you to work at PCMG?
-“I needed a job, and I knew the administrator. Before coming here, I worked as a secretary at the Presbyterian Church.”
What do you like about working at PCMG?
-“I really like the patients and the relationships I’ve formed with them over the years. I like to think I try to go the extra mile for them. We have a nice variety of patients, and I’ve learned a lot about other cultures. I also like the people I work with. Well… I don’t like change.”
How have things changed over the last 40 years?
-“Now I’m the older person working here! The technology and the overall appearance of the place have changed a lot. I’ve changed too, hopefully for the better but I’m still a little sassy and ornery.”
What’s your favorite food?
-“I don’t have one specific favorite, but I enjoy good food; a good steak, a good burrito, or a good sandwich. I’ve really enjoyed the food growth Lexington has had; we have great food. Mexican, Chinese...it’s all good.”
An interesting place you’ve visited?
-“New York City! I went to visit a girlfriend and saw the Statue of Liberty, went to Times Square, and visited all the major New York landmarks… but I wouldn’t want to live there.”
What’s a fun fact about you that your colleagues might not know?
-“When I was in high school, I participated in Buffalo Bill’s Rodeo Queen Contest in North Platte. I also enjoy seeing and taking photos of Nebraska's beautiful sunrises, sunsets and landscapes.”
What do you like to do on your days off?
-“I enjoy working in the yard or garden and spending time enjoying Mother Nature. I find fulfillment in helping others; whether family, friends, or through church. I value giving more than receiving, though I appreciate both.”
Thoughts about your 40 years at PCMG?
-“I’m shocked I’ve lasted this long! There have been ups and downs and many different co-workers along the way. I’ve formed friendships with them that have continued outside of work. In 40 years, a lot of life events happen, and those experiences help forge deeper, more meaningful relationships with the people you work with. You get to know them like family. Overall, it’s been a good 40 years.”
Paula, thank you for four decades of dedication, compassion, and a little bit of sass, we are so grateful for you! 💜✨
