Each day this week — which is Environmental Services Week — we’ll get to know one of our campus environmental services workers who keep the medical center clean and running smoothly.<\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>Favorite thing about UNMC:<\/b> I like the fact that the campus is always growing and constantly improving. Even though I have to clean it — I love all of the glass in the buildings!<\/p>\n

Three things you don’t know about me:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • My son Jason was born at UNMC in 1990, and a senior nurse noticed he wasn’t breathing when I was holding him after surgery. She grabbed him off me and saved his life.\n
  • I’m a member of the Omaha Walking Club. I love walking, even with the amount of walking I do at work.\n
  • Wherever I go, I always get lost. No matter where it is or who drew me a map, I get lost. I don’t have much sense of direction.\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
