Lori has been employed at KHC for three and a half years. In her nominations, Lori was cited for her heart and soul and dedication to her patients. Lori’s nominations stated how she cares so much for her patients and that she is goal driven and wants the best results from her patients and doesn’t take the easy way but the right way to deliver wound care.
