In life, the bonds of family run deep. But those relationships don’t stop at the front door of Scheurer Health; they run through every hallway of every location. Nearly a quarter of all employees at Scheurer have some sort of relation to someone else on our team of 488 medical professionals. One of those families is the Gilbert clan, who currently have a total of eight family members working in different corners of the organization with more than 70 combined years of service at Scheurer Health. At the core of the bunch are a brother and sister, Dave Gilbert and Melissa Gilbert, each with their respective wife and fiancé also in the Scheurer ranks, Hope Gilbert and Neil Belmont. Throw in Carrie Dubs, Kim Krohn, Katie Jones and Gail Talaski and you suddenly are on the cusp of a constant family reunion. Each of them work in various areas of Scheurer, from Fiscal Services, Biomedical Engineering, Surgical Services, Laboratory, Acute Care, Care Coordination, Physician Practice Management to Nutritional Services. Despite being in different areas of Scheurer, the collaborations between them happen more times than not. In fact, for the cover photo of this article, Dave and Hope Gilbert were a few minutes late because they were working on a mutual project. Hope remarked about the working relationship with her husband, “Dave and my jobs co-exist a lot. Just before we sat down here, he was in my department fixing one of my machines (in surgical services). So that’s nice because I get to see him throughout the day. Our jobs go hand-in-hand; I need stuff fixed and he’s the guy to fix it.” Kim Krohn is grateful for her cousin (through soon-to-be marriage) Neil’s skills in painless blood draws. Meanwhile, Neil is appreciative of Gail Talaski in Nutritional Services for going above and beyond, “Gail will actually bring food down to the lab on weekends when I am working alone and can’t get down to the dining room; she’s got a great heart.”
