Do The Next Right Thing: Mary Freiermuth, Eileen Nitz, Tamara Beebe

A small circle provided tender care at the end of life . . . and afterwards.

Mary Freiermuth, Eileen Nitz and Tamara Beebe didn’t set out to care for the patient’s husband. It unfolded naturally as the two nursing assistants cared for his wife.

Do The Next Right Thing: Trista Shimota, RN

Trista Shimota heard an emergency in her patient’s voice.

Trista is a triage nurse in the Women’s Health Center. She was giving a patient some biopsy results over the phone when the patient’s voice changed: She sounded confused, repeating one sentence over and over in a robotic tone.

Do The Next Right Thing: Frankie Stocker, RN

Frankie Stocker helps colleagues help patients with fetal loss.

Frankie is an OB nurse in the Birth Center. Seeing loss there (and in her own family) spurred Frankie to create education for NH+C nurses and staff to help families when they experience the loss of a baby.

NH+C honors select employees each year as part of our Do The Next Right Thing initiative that empowers every individual on staff to help provide the best experience possible for patients, guests, and each other. We're proud to honor Frankie for her commitment to families experiencing loss.

New Year's baby of 2023: Zeke Elliot Chalmers

It’s a boy! Zeke Elliot Chalmers is our New Year’s baby – born on January 1 at 7:37 p.m.

Congratulations to parents Amber Riley and Zach Chalmers (and big brother Axel), who live in Owatonna.

Amber and Zach calculated Zeke’s due date as December 31. “Then at our first pre-natal appointment, we were told January 15,” Zach says. “We kept joking about it,” Amber laughs. “He’s the one who knew when to come.”

Axel, who’s almost 3, is excited to be a big brother: “He says he’s going to help change diapers and feed him,” Amber says.
