Employee of the Year and Outstanding Leaders Named

Employed at Memorial for 16 years, Weber was nominated for this honor due to her willingness to go above and beyond for a patient and a patients loved one. Marlen said Weber reunited a patient with their loved one and went the extra step of making sure the loved one was also cared for since the couple had unexpectedly been admitted to the hospital and didn’t have their vehicle or medications.

Weber resides in Millstadt with her husband and enjoys camping, boating, biking, reading, and quilting as well as active in her church. They have three adult children.
