CALLS
For Heather Reinhart, BSN, RN,
medical and surgical nurse
for CHI Mercy Health, making
decisions based on core values
isn't something she learned on
the job—it's a life choice and
one she hopes to pass on to her
three teenage daughters.
Heather recently received the Corporate Responsibility Program Award, a quarterly recognition,
for making the right choice when she found herself in an unusual situation at work.
"When I signed into a software application and realized I had access to les that
seemed condential, I knew something was wrong and reported it immediately to
Human Resources," says Heather. "One of my life mantras is to question everything and
another is do the right thing, so what I did wasn't heroic. It is an honor to receive the
Corporate Responsibility Program Award, but I was just staying true to the person I try
to be every day on the job and at home."
A dedicated CHI Mercy Health team member since 2009, Heather enjoys bonding
with her colleagues and committing to making local health care great for her neighbors,
friends, and family.
When Heather isn't saving lives during her 12-hour shift, she is embracing each
moment with her daughters, whether they are playing sports, camping under the stars, or
enjoying time at the lake.
"I know these moments are passing by quickly, because my eldest will graduate high
school this year," Heather says. "I want her and all my girls to take small decisions seriously.
Then, when the time comes to make big decisions, integrity will be part of their souls."
