Veronica Lopez loves to clean, and for seven years she’s been putting her heart into Star Valley Health. “I love to make a difference in people’s lives,” she says. “I want the patients who come to the hospital to have a really good impression.”
But Veronica is much, much more than a housekeeper, says Cynthia Clinger, environmental services director. “Cleaning is not one size fits all,” she explains. Veronica must know which cleaners to use to kill which pathogens. Without proper cleaning, “we can’t stop infections; we can’t stop diseases.”
In addition to these skills, Veronica is consistent, reliable, thorough, and detailed. “She’s awesome,” says Cynthia. “She has a good heart. She’s one of those people every boss wishes they had. Patients and staff love her.”
Next time you visit Star Valley Health, you can thank Veronica for helping to create a healing place for you and those you care about – with a smile.
