Employee Spotlight: Khirastin Schneider, RHFC
In May of 2022, Khirastin Schneider, Business Officer Manager at the Riverside Health Fitness Center, competed in USAT Multisport Nationals in Texas. Her biggest race was the Sprint Duathlon – a 5k run, followed by a 20k bike, finishing with a 3.3k run – where she placed 3rd in her age group. With this victory, she qualified for 2023 Team USA Worlds in Ibiza, Spain.
“A lot of training hours go into competing at a higher level. Consistency and dedication became detrimental, and Riverside Health Fitness Center was able to provide me with everything I needed. Not only did I swim, bike, and run, but I also met with a trainer once or twice a week to build strength. Training for a race in April in the Midwest means most of your training time is indoors, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the fitness center for providing me with everything I needed,” Khirastin said.
A Kind Letter as We Enter the New Year
Staneeda Ware, an x-ray tech/medical assistant in the Pavilion, sent the wrote the letter below and distributed it to fellow Riverside employees. This is a wonderful reminder that as we enter 2023, the Riverside family remains strong and is here for one another through any obstacle or challenge.
“This year I wanted to do something different. I know the past couple of years have been hectic with the pandemic. I know we get busy between work and our families. Sometimes we may be having a bad day, week or month and don’t know how to shake it off. It’s ok. It’s ok not to be ok sometimes. A simple hello, nod or wave can make someone feel better. I thank you all for those simple gestures. Some of you we have had conversations on more than one occasion. Either way, you have made an impact. I just want to simply thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am a firm believer of giving people their roses while they are here. It’s not much but I just want to say I wish you all the best in love, health and wealth. I wish and pray for safe travels to and from your destination. I hope you guys enjoy this Christmas holiday and I wish you a Happy New Year. For some of you, you may be like ‘who is Staneeda (Needa)??’ LOL. I am the x-ray tech/medical assistant who works on either side of this office in the Kankakee Immediate Care. Each and every one of you are amazing and I am glad that I work with you guys (not directly) but you get what I’m saying. Thank you, guys, when you include our department when there is food. Your team is always helpful. I appreciate that.”
Be Blessed
Staneeda (Needa)
Well In Mind Animal Ambassador Visits
Our Well In Mind Animal Ambassador, Sailor, had a busy month spreading holiday cheer! He was a surprise guest at the PCA Kankakee Holiday Party thanks to Site Supervisor Jean Craft and provider Dr. Alston asking for him to attend, as they wanted to make the day extra special for staff. Sailor also joined Well In Mind and the wellness wagon to visit the Atrium and Meadowview. Well in Mind wishes all a safe and happy holiday, and we look forward to supporting you in the new year!
