1st baby of June
Moses Lake baby wins first baby of June 2017
As has occurred
for the past five years,
the Mid-Columbia Dairy Women of
Adams, Grant and Franklin counties cel-
ebrated National Dairy Month by present-
ing an enormous basket overflowing with
gifts to the first baby born at Samaritan in
the month of June.
Tiffany Morris delivered the first baby of
June! Ripley was born at 8:16 a.m. on June 1
and weighed in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces.
Congratulations, and welcome! Ripley joins
her two older brothers at home.
Baby Ripley even received her first visit
from a princess.The Mid-Columbia Dairy
Ambassador, Abby Zurcher, made the trip
to Moses Lake to present the basket of gifts
to Tiffany and Ripley. Abby was joined by
Heather Zurcher and Tina Decker from the
Mid-Columbia Dairy Women.
All of the Mid-Columbia Dairy Women
are on the lookout throughout the year,
gathering items that are cow- or barn-
related for the basket. The basket includes
cute bibs, toys, diapers and wipes, but a
special item is a blanket handmade by
Tina.
The women collect the items because
they want to share in the celebration of
National Dairy Month—and what better
way than rejoicing in the birth of a baby?
We couldn’t agree more!
Congratulations, Tiffany and Ripley! And
thank you to Mid-Columbia Dairy Am-
bassador Abby Zurcher, Heather Zurcher,
Tina Decker, and all of the Mid-Columbia
Dairy Women of Adams, Grant and Frank-
lin counties for celebrating with Samaritan
Healthcare.
When you visit
Samaritan Healthcare,
you’ll discover an entire medical team that
is ready to care for your individual healthcare
needs—surgeons, doctors, nurses, and support
staff—and all working together.
One of Samaritan’s dedicated health care team
members is Krystel in the mammography depart-
ment. Krystel was recently named an Employee
of the Month for her attitude, dedication, and
willingness to step up when other staff members
need help.
“It makes a difference when we have the ability
to work with other departments to cover the de-
tails for patient care,” said Krystel. “I also enjoyed
helping to organize and prioritize the patient
records so they would have a better experience.”
Krystel not only gives her all while at work,
she is also willing to change her schedule to ac-
commodate a patient’s needs and answers emails
outside of her shift. Her professional attitude is
combined with a down-to-earth, “get-it-done”
style that aids with clear communication about
the patients under her care.
I am Samaritan. All of us. For each of you. Every
time.
