            (Editor’s note: Friend of the paper Owen Wiese recently asked us to tell some stories about the people who work at Palisades Healthcare, so after a conversation with director Lordes Parker, one of the things we will do regularly as we can are brief featurettes on the employees of the month for the facility.)

            Palisades Healthcare is proud to announce Casey Reid as the employee of the month for April. Reid, a dedicated staff member with a heart for service, has been recognized for bringing joy and comfort to the residents of the healthcare facility.

            Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Reid has called South Dakota home for nearly two decades. Despite a preference for California's sunny climate over South Dakota's extreme seasons, Reid has found a second family among the residents and staff at Palisades.

            "I love working here," Reid shared. "I think that I've always really enjoyed elderly people, enjoy their company. I enjoy talking to them and loving on them. And they bring me so much joy. So I don't look at it as coming into work, I come in and hang around some cool people every day and that makes my life happy."

            Reid's daily interactions with residents go beyond daily routine care. With activities like Bingo and singing and dancing sessions, Reid ensures that laughter and fun are a regular part of life at Palisades.

            Reid's approach to care is influenced by a love for science and a passion for helping others, especially the elderly and infants. "I wasn't one of those people who just wanted to help people," Reid explained. "But I've always had a passion for elderly people and babies."

            Reid has a family, with three kids and generally just loves life and people. Her positive attitude and work ethic netted her employee of the Month at Palisades.

            “She’s just an excellent person and truly deserves to be recognized by the whole community,” said Owen Wiese.

            With that in mind, congratulations to Casey Reid on this well-deserved recognition. Look for more of these profiles in the near future.
