Pinckneyville Community Hospital (PCH) is proud to recognize Kadie Ridgeway through its Grow Our Own Initiative, which supports employees pursuing education and career advancement in healthcare.

 

Currently working as a PRN Radiologic Technologist at PCH, Ridgeway is pursuing a bachelor's degree in Allied Health at Southern Illinois University. Her goal is to expand her training in Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), allowing her to grow her skills and serve patients in additional imaging modalities.

 

Ridgeway shared that continuing her education is both a personal goal and an opportunity to give back to the hospital and community she serves. She hopes to apply what she learns to take on additional responsibilities within the imaging department and continue growing with PCH.

 

Her dedication has also been recognized by her colleagues. Abigail Weathers, RT(R)(M)(CT), RDMS, RVT, praised Ridgeway's professionalism, strong work ethic, willingness to learn, and commitment to providing excellent patient care.
