Richland Center, WI (March 6, 2026) — The Richland Hospital and Clinics (TRHC) is proud to announce Jenny Koch, Environmental Services, as the organization’s first-ever BEE Award recipient. Selected from an impressive group of nominees across multiple departments, Jenny’s dedication, professionalism, and compassionate support for colleagues set her apart as the inaugural honoree of this new recognition program.

Jenny was nominated twice for the award, reflecting the strong impact she has on both staff and daily operations. During the award presentation, Heidi Darling, VP of Professional Services, shared the nominations that underscore Jenny’s exceptional service and leadership, highlights which include:

“From my first day of orientation, Jenny made me feel right at home… Her shift is 4 AM–Noon, but she often comes in early, stays late, or comes back later to help. Jenny stepped up to fill in during the interim between supervisors without hesitation… I’ve seen her take multiple phone calls, help train, check in with contractors, and stop in to see financial staff regarding the laundry department… Everyone knows she’s dependable and capable.”

Jenny’s commitment, reliability, and welcoming presence make her an invaluable member of the TRHC team.

Her actions exemplify the spirit of the BEE Award—recognizing those who “Be Extraordinary Every Day.”

“Congratulations, Jenny,” said Darling. “You are an outstanding role model for your team and for all of us. We are incredibly fortunate to have you here.”

TRHC also extends appreciation to the other nominees, each of whom demonstrates dedication to patients, colleagues, and the organization:
