Loyal, loving, and passionate, it’s no surprise that Casey loves getting to work and interacting with others in the health-care system to make a difference in the community. Speaking highly of the passion she witnesses from Interior Health (IH) employees around her, Casey feels fortunate to be on the Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) Engagement Committee, where she plans fun events for staff.  

“I am very grateful to be in a position that allows me to interact with all departments at RIH,” she says. “I love planning fun events for staff and interacting with them during fundraisers— selling $2 bags of popcorn and hearing the positive comments and laughter. It’s nice that something as simple as a bag of popcorn can turn someone’s day around or give them a reason to smile!”
