I started with Lockheed Martin in January 2011. I had been seeking
full-time employment for nine months when I got a call from a recruiter for a
job two miles from my home. A brand-new Wellness Center was built and then opened
December 8, 2011.
It has been a privilege to care for the several hundred employees
here. I have diagnosed early melanoma on an employee, helped them get early
treatment and hopefully helped save a life. Other employees have received help
in controlling their high-blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic illness. Free
health screenings have identified employees with these conditions and helped
get them early treatment to prevent the damage from these illnesses. Free flu
shots and educational lunch-and-learns have also helped employees and their families
stay healthy.
As a friend said, "I thought you had three children, and now
you have several hundred." I do feel a strong connection to my co-workers
here and will do everything in my power to help them healthy.
