“There are many reasons why I have chosen to serve my career at Cascade Medical. I love that our mission statement and values both center around providing our community quality, affordable patient care. Working in a rural health care setting feels like you are making a difference for your community members. I am so grateful we have a supporting community that will help make sure Cascade is around for future generations. Cascade Medical staff also feels like an extended family. We work together to achieve goals while also providing each other with support. I am immensely proud to work at Cascade Medical and thankful for all my colleagues, the board of commissioners and community members.” Jerri Smith Director of Business Services “I started here as a 27-year-old physical therapist, just a couple of years removed from school on the East Coast. At Cascade Medical I found the freedom to learn, try new things, make mistakes, and grow our rehabilitation services program. I value the community we are here at CM, and our connection to the greater community we serve. I recognize and can talk to every employee in the building, from our incredible housekeeping staff to our dedicated medical providers, administrators and patient service representatives. Patients from the ‘old days’ still walk through our doors, and new patients and staff members from different walks of life enter our community with openness and something to teach us. I’m lucky to be a part of our unique and talented team here at CM and feel privileged to serve such a dynamic community which I call home.” Joe Aponik Director of Rehabilitation Services CascadeMedical.org 11
