Gary Elises of the Rehabilitation Department was recently selected as the March Shining Star at Pella Regional Health Center. Elises colleagues who nominated him say that he exemplifies the mission statement at Pella Regional. They say they have patients call all the time to come back to see him, and while they may not remember his name, they know how to describe him…kind, compassionate, funny and really knows his stuff. Elises received $100, a plaque, and will automatically be included in the Shining Star of the Year award.
