Oak Hill "Star" Employees

April 2008

Jan Marino, RRT (Registered Respiratory Therapist)
Jan Marino joined the Respiratory Therapy Department in 1998 and has provided our patients with all aspects of respiratory care for 10 years. Jan lives in Brooksville and boasts a large extended family. There are Heidi and Heather, her daughters, Brittani, 20, Breanna, 15 and Erica, 4 are her granddaughters, and Daniel, 7, and Robbie, 9, are her grandsons.

Jan’s nomination came from a nursing supervisor who observed that Jan was entering an elevator on the fourth floor when she noticed that a patient was on a stretcher in the elevator and that the patient was in respiratory distress. The supervisor says that thanks to her quick actions she pushed the stretcher off the elevator into a fourth floor room where the patient actually stopped breathing but due to Jan’s quick action she survived and was transferred to ICU.

Bob Jimolka, RPH PharmD
Bob has been a pharmacist in the HCA system since June of 1982. He began his HCA career at Largo Medical Center in June of 1982. In October of 1983 he served at Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point. He came to Oak Hill Hospital in June of 2003. Bob views his job as that of prescribing and monitoring antibiotic dosing and prescribing and monitoring hyperalimintation feedings along with supervising technicians and being a medication information resource to the hospital. Bob’s nomination came from associates in other departments who praised his ability to be cooperative and be a member of a team.

His nomination discussed at length Bob’s willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that patients received the medications they needed to recover. Bob and the pharmacy are regarded as essential members of the entire Oak Hill Hospital care giving team.

Lanna Bartz, RN
Lanna joined Oak Hill Hospital’s third floor in June of 2007. As a Registered Nurse her personal philosophy is to give personal care based on specific patient need and to advocate as a liaison for the patient and family in all aspects of their stay at Oak Hill Hospital. Lanna has two daughter,  Cheyenne, 15, and Kiowa, 9, and one son, William, 5. They live in Brooksville. Lanna’s nomination extolled her special qualities and true concern for her patients.

Her nomination form stated that Lanna had been caring for a critically ill patient for some time. The patient was celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary. Lanna brought her in a small gift, ordered a cake from the kitchen and arranged for the staff to sing happy anniversary. She truly made the patient “very satisfied.” The patient felt extremely special…especially when Lanna brought a dozen white roses with gold tips.
