A security officer with Taylorville Memorial Hospital is the Colleague of the Month for July.  Gary Freitag, who has been with TMH since 2017, was nominated for TMH’s Colleague of July.  Freitag’s nominator says that the Taylorville resident goes above and beyond the basic responsibilities of his position to ensure great patient care and safety.  “Gary offers help, whether it be getting a wheelchair for a patient or assisting a colleague by carrying something.”  

Freitag wears many hats whether that is getting donuts for the hospital, coffee, or covering screening stations if a bathroom break is needed.  Freitag says his favorite part of the job is the people he gets to deal with on a regular basis.  He views the safety and support of his colleagues and hospital patients and visitors as his top priority.

Freitag has served as a Shriner clown for 26 years.  We here at Regional Radio News salute you Gary!
