Shelby Heesacker Wins Columbus Community Hospital’s Service Over Self Award
Columbus Community Hospital has awarded Shelby Heesacker with its third quarter Service Over Self award.
The award recognizes CCH staff who volunteer in Columbus and surrounding communities. It celebrates, supports and encourages volunteer activities while recognizing the positive impact CCH staff members have on their communities.
Heesacker is a registered nurse at Lindsay Medical Clinic who dedicates her time and professional skills as a volunteer for the Creston Rescue team. The nomination details how Heesacker always goes above and beyond for the communities of rural Nebraska.
Chantel Sempek, practice manager for the Lindsay and Humphrey Medical Clinics, nominated Heesacker for the award.
The nomination letter stated, “It takes a special person to dedicate their time and effort to giving back to others, and we all know how important that is — especially in a small town,” Sempek said. “Your selflessness does not go unnoticed. I believe our clinic is the best it could be, and our communities are better, because of you.”
In addition to her work with the rescue team, Heesacker also volunteers as a junior high volleyball coach at Lindsay Holy Family and Humphrey Public Schools.
Heesacker received the Service Over Self award on Thursday, Oct. 26.
The Service Over Self award is open to all CCH staff. To submit your nomination, send your nominee’s volunteer story to bridges@columbushosp.org.
