Philbrick Recognized as VCHS Employee of the Quarter

ORD, Neb. – Carol Philbrick, CNA, has been named the Valley County Health System (VCHS) Employee of the Quarter. Philbrick, a VCHS Home Health and Hospice Aide, was nominated by a former patient’s family for exemplifying the VCHS values of integrity, compassion, ownership, respect and trust. VCHS CEO Nancy Glaubke presented Philbrick with the award on an

Philbrick’s nomination read:

"We have seen past articles of employees at the hospital receiving Employee of the Quarter or the Caring Kind Award over the years. We would like to have Carol Philbrick be considered for this award. She has cared for so many patients throughout our community, including our family several years ago through VCHS Hospice and Home Health. 

She works efficiently and wastes no time offering her assistance with bedding, picking up mail and shopping if needed. Carol is always respectful of our needs and doctor appointments and will switch days and keep the other nurses informed of our needs. Carol always has a smile on her face and is always washing her hands and using proper hand hygiene.

Her priority in making her patients shower is sometimes the best thing that will happen to them throughout their week. She respects their modesty and puts their need for safety first. Her kindness and compassion makes it easy to share the news with others about the wonderful care that she provides. 

Carol has worked for over 25 years at VCHS and you can tell that Home Health and Hospice is her passion.  She does it each and every day with compassion, dedication and most of all love for all her patients and their families. We learned that Carol worked the day of her mother’s funeral so her coworkers would not be short staffed. She is such a great team player, and VCHS should feel blessed to have her. Carol’s loyalty to VCHS and her patients is appreciated by many.”

With this recognition, Philbrick will also be considered for VCHS Employee of the Year.
