Congratulations to GCGH's latest DAISY Award Winner!

Brantli Lannan, RN works in our OB Department and was nominated by a patient who says Brantli is very sweet! This patient said the hospital was incredibly busy one day and Brantli made them feel very comfortable and was very professional. When Brantli's shift ended, the patient said Brantli still took the time to make them feel comfortable. This patient said she would recommend Brantli to anyone!

Way to go, Brantli! We appreciate you and all you do at GCGH!

PETAL Award

GCGH is thrilled to honor Radiology Assistant Sarah Eisenhut with a PETAL Award!

Sarah was nominated by a fellow employee who says Sarah was recently absolutely wonderful with a patient who received horrible news while at our hospital. Sarah calmly walked the patient to a quiet room, held her hand, helped her get a hold of her son, and kept the son aware of his mom's care while she was undergoing tests. What was probably one of the worst days of the patient's life was made a little easier by Sarah's kindness. Sarah, you're awesome! Thank you for caring so much! We appreciate YOU!

Outstanding Leader of the Year Award 2024

Congratulations, Jessi King!

Greene County General Hospital (GCGH) is excited to announce Director of Surgical Services Jessi King, MSN, RN as its 2024 Outstanding Leader of the Year!
Each year, hospital administration team members accept nominations for this award. King was chosen for always going above and beyond for her team. Employees say King doesn’t treat people as above her or below her, but with her. They say there is no job King will delegate that she won’t do herself. Staff describe King as selfless and say she is always looking for ways to improve processes for the operating room, for the hospital, and most importantly, for our patients and the community. They say King genuinely cares for people, and it shows every day.
King received her Associate of Science in Nursing from Vincennes University in 2012. She then received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Indiana University in 2013 and went on to earn a Master of Science in Nursing Administration from Ball State University in 2020. In addition to GCGH, King’s nursing career has taken her to Sullivan County Community Hospital, The Pain Clinic, and Terre Haute Surgical Center. She previously worked at GCGH’s Covid Vaccine Clinic before being named GCGH Director of Surgical Services in 2021. King says she had planned on becoming a Nurse Practitioner until the leadership opening at GCGH presented itself. King says she is so glad she took the opportunity. “I love working at Greene County General Hospital. There is something special about working in your hometown. Our surgery team is awesome! They make coming to work enjoyable and take such great care of our patients. I have learned so much from coworkers and some of the best mentors while I have been at GCGH.”, says King.
King lives in Linton and is married with two daughters. She says when she’s not at one of her daughters’ sporting events, she and her family enjoy going to IU Basketball games and spending time at the lake. King also likes to read and garden.

We present this award to Shaun for his continued dedication to keeping our staff, patients, and visitors safe!
