During National Nurses Week, May 6 - May 12, Phoebe Ministries highlighted retired nurses who reside at each of the four Phoebe campuses, along with some of their favorite Phoebe nursing staff members.
Featured stories included retired nurses Fran Sletvold and Shirley Hawk, who collectively have 102 years of service as nurses. During their nursing tenures, both residents worked at the Allentown Osteopathic Hospital, which became St. Luke’s Allentown Campus. They reconnected when they moved into independent living at the Terrace on Phoebe’s Allentown campus.
Also highlighted were Phoebe Richland residents Elaine Balinski and June Moyer. Both retired nurses worked at Grand View Hospital in Sellersville for over 30 years. They posed for photos with Phoebe nurses Lisa Reilly and Michele Sciss, who have a collective 30 years of service.
Retired nurses who live at Phoebe had careers as long as 64 years. Phoebe’s featured nursing employees range from newly certified temporary nursing assistants (TNA) with three months of service to registered nurses (RN) and certified nursing assistants (CNA) with more than 40 years of service.
