Taylorville Memorial Hospital will see a change at the position of director of hospitality.  Kristina Ray will assume the role on March 1, replacing Becky Morrow who is retiring after 45 years at Memorial Health.  Ray will oversee teams focused on environmental services, food, pastoral care, volunteers, and patient experience.  She has worked at TMH for 27 years.  She currently serves as a manager of health information, medical staff services, and patient experience.

Emily Bailey, interim president and CEO, says Ray’s dedication and innate familiarity of the hospital’s operations will help her perform well as hospitality director. 

Becky Morrow’s final day is March 7.  She has been part of Memorial Health since 1980, when she joined the food and nutrition services team at the Springfield location.  She took over as director of hospitality in Taylorville in 2017, overseeing the build of the new kitchen, cafeteria, and dining room.  She supervised multiple similar projects while in Springfield, as well.  Morrow says the highlight of these endeavors – especially that of the Taylorville location – is the relationships she has built.  She adds that finishing her career in Taylorville is meaningful to her.
