On October 1, a retirement celebration was held for Virginia Graham, Executive Assistant to the CEO, at the Elks Lodge. She was the first employee to work more than 50 years at Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare (GVMH).
Graham started at GVMH on its opening day in 1972. Throughout her career, she served as the Executive Assistant for four CEO’s and was the Secretary for the Board of Directors. She was recognized as the Employee of the Year in 1986-1987.
Her favorite thing about working at GVMH was the caring people. She also enjoyed the fun times with everyone at the employee events. Some of her favorites were the annual picnics and the 50th Anniversary Fun Fest.
“Virginia was an incredible asset to the entire organization,” said Craig Thompson, CEO at GVMH. “She is an amazing person and GVMH will not be the same without her. We will miss her tremendously and wish her all the best.”
