Hello I’m Jane Shannon, a nurse in the Kraemer Center and Richland Hospital outpatient unit.
When asked what I like the most about my job, I would have to say the small size of the hospital and community. I specialize in chemotherapy, but in helping other departments, I am able to keep my skills fresh in things like O.B. and E.R.
“I have been a member of this community all of my life.
When I went through chemotherapy, I could not have asked for better care than I received at the Richland Hospital. These were the best bunch of gals and they did an awful good job of taking care of me, we even had a lot of fun.
I was able to receive all my healthcare in one spot and was able to continue my work while receiving chemotherapy. Even though this was a difficult time, I was able to receive support from the staff at the Richland Hospital and even more from friends that were receiving chemotherapy at the same time.”

Barb's Story
“My chemo treatments were done at The Richland Hospital which I was happy about. Chemo treatments are rough, but when you know the nurses that administer the drugs, you feel better and not so afraid of the unknown ahead of you. Our Richland Hospital has come a long way. Now the new chemo rooms make the patient that much more comfortable while taking treatments. Think how far we would have to travel in an emergency if we did not have our Richland Hospital.”
