From: Memorial HospitalBrett Bollmann, CEO at Memorial Hospital named Amy Kirkland Employee of the Quarter for the First Quarter 2023 on May 2, 2023.
Kirkland, Registered Nurse and Night Shift Supervisor, has worked at Memorial Hospital for a total of 17 years. When asked what she likes most about working at Memorial, Kirkland replied, “The standard of care that is upheld is unmatched by any other place I have worked. We have a friendly, patient first atmosphere. I enjoy the small-town feel while still being able to provide quality care for the patients and the community. We aren’t just co-workers; we are a family.”
Her co-workers who nominated her wrote, “This employee is always willing to help, often without being asked. When working with her I always know that it will be okay because she always has her teams back. She takes on many extra roles as a supervisor including IT and a therapist to keep us grounded. Without her, I would not have been able to make it through many of my shifts and I am very grateful to her! She deserves this award for all of her knowledge and hard work that makes her one of this hospital’s greatest assets. She is always willing to help in ER when things get busy, is a team player, patient advocate and possesses excellent leadership skills.”
Kirkland resides in Sparta with her husband Shawn. They have two daughters Lauren and Sadie and three grandchildren. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family, crocheting, and traveling whenever they get a chance.
