This award represents the highest honor at PVCH and recognizes a team member whose work, leadership, and commitment truly reflect who we are and what we stand for.
The Lewis Young Impact Award was named in honor of Lewis Young, whose impact has been felt not only at PVCH, but throughout our community and across the Midwest. Lewis deeply believes in philanthropy and in helping others, and he lives that belief every single day. This award was created to honor those who carry that same spirit forward through their work and the way they serve others.

In her role as Lab Supervisor, Kristi consistently demonstrates excellence in her daily work. The laboratory requires an incredible level of precision, reliability, and attention to detail, and Kristi brings those qualities to her job every day.
Her dedication to PVCH goes well beyond the walls of the lab. Kristi is deeply committed to our organization and the culture that makes this such a special place to work. As chair of the Culture Committee, she is one of PVCH’s biggest champions, always looking for ways to support our teams, strengthen connections, and create a positive environment where people feel valued.
Kristi’s passion for healthcare is evident in everything she does. She shows up with professionalism, consistency, and a genuine desire to help others succeed. She is respected by her team and by leadership and is often sought out for guidance, collaboration, and thoughtful perspective.
At the heart of Kristi’s leadership is her commitment to treating everyone with compassion, integrity, and respect. These values guide her work every day and reflect the very best of Pawnee Valley Community Hospital.
