Congrats to KSB Pulmonologist, Dr. Thomas Gehlbach, on his recent GEM award! He was nominated by a patient's daughter for the excellent service and care he provided in a difficult time. "Dr. Gehlbach took such amazing care of my mother both in his office and while she was inpatient at KSB. He was so compassionate and graceful during our conversations regarding hospice care and transferring her to Serenity. He was realistic, yet so kind in all his interactions and I know my mom and my entire family were much more comfortable with him on our team. I cannot express enough gratitude!"

Congratulations to Respiratory Therapist, Jeremy Toms, who received KSB’s first GEM award of 2019! Jeremy was nominated twice during the month of December for being an exceptional team member. His nominators wrote: "Thanks for being so welcoming to our new employee and taking the time to show her around and for being such a great resource to your co-workers that day as well. Your knowledge is boundless!" "Thank you for your time and help with a Home Health Care patient concern last Friday. You provided us with valuable tracheostomy education and supplies that she needed. Her husband was very anxious, but we were able to calm his nerves by teaching him what you taught us. Thank you for your professionalism and teamwork in this situation. You definitely went above and beyond!"
