Farewell to EIRMC...


After 21 years at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, it's with great sadness that I will not be returning. Life throws many curveballs that often take us by complete surprise. Last February, I was diagnosed with lung cancer that turned my world upside down. Moving forward it's important for me to close this chapter, and begin to focus on the journey ahead.

Through these past years at EIRMC, I have met some of the most incredible individuals who have helped me grow, learn, and become an overall better person. Many who will be lifelong friends and relationships I will forever cherish.

I want to thank all those who helped me with the various committees that I chaired over the years, including Diversity Week, Geriatric Forum, and those who lent support, time, and their generosity in creating our EIRMC parade floats every year.

Cancer is tough, but I know I'm tougher. With a positive mindset I will give my all in fighting this disease that doesn't define me. I am, and always will be the Jodi you saw walking the halls. Thanks for all the great memories.
