PVCH Announces Kristi Engle as Associate of the Quarter

Pawnee Valley Community Hospital is proud to recognize Kristi Engle, Lab Supervisor, as our Associate of the Quarter. This honor is selected by the Patient and Family Advisory Council based on peer nominations and recognizes Associates whose work reflects our mission and makes a meaningful difference for patients and families.

Kristi is widely known for leading the PVCH Health Fairs each spring and fall, providing affordable access to important lab testing for Associates, Auxiliary members, and residents of Pawnee County and surrounding communities. She also works closely with community partners to offer education and resources that promote preventive care and overall wellness.

Behind the scenes, Kristi ensures test results are processed accurately and shared in a timely manner, offering reassurance and follow-through for those awaiting answers. Her dedication, attention to detail, and willingness to step up are highly valued by her colleagues.

This recognition is especially timely as it coincides with Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, highlighting the essential role lab professionals play in patient care every day. Pawnee Valley Community Hospital is grateful for Kristi’s leadership and for the lab team who support her efforts and help make events like the community health fairs possible.
