Celebrating 40 Years of Care and Compassion

Celebrating 40 Years of Care and Compassion

Nye Health Services is celebrating Lynette Winter and her 40 years of service at Nye Pointe in Fremont, NE. Nette started with Nye Health Services in 1982 as a Medication Aide. While many things have changed over the years, her commitment to providing excellent care to the residents has always been the same.

Celebrating 40 Years of Care and Compassion

In 2005, Nette was awarded the NHCA Direct Care Staff Award for her leadership and dedication to the residents and team members. She was also the team leader for the Eden Journey program from 2005 to 2015. Today, Nette continues to grow professionally by leading the Mentor program for the Medication Aides. When we asked Nette what her favorite part of the job was, she smiled and said, “Working with the residents and getting to know them along with their families!”

Her team members will tell you, from her easy laugh and gentle and caring demeanor to her knowledge of her job and the residents she cares for, she’s the best!

Thank you, Nette, for all the lives you have touched over the years with Nye Health Services! We are very thankful and look forward to more fun and laughs!
