Pinckneyville Community Hospital continues to invest in its workforce through its “Grow our Own” program, providing educational opportunities that help employees expand their skills while strengthening care for the community.

One of the program’s participants is Brooke Westenberger, a Registered Nurse who has been a valued member of the hospital team since 2016. Brooke currently works at the hospital as an RN, where she plays an important role not only in patient care but also in training and mentoring new nurses, helping guide the next generation of caregivers.

Brooke is currently enrolled in the Accelerated RN-to-BSN program at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where she is working toward her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
