Katie Lechner, Chief Operating Officer
“I miss hugging people because we’re happy to be together, or when something sad has occurred. I want to stop fearing that I will unknowingly bring the virus home to my family, or friends. I want Tabitha Residents to see their families WHENEVER THEY WANT. And I want them to HUG their families too.”

Brian Shanks, Chief Financial Officer
“Throughout history, vaccines are proven to work and we need everyone to participate to reduce the spread of the virus. In the meantime, we’ll need to continue the COVID precautions we have in place until the virus is administered throughout the country and has had time to work.”

“This is our call to action - finally something we can DO that makes a BIG difference. Our country needs a wave of positivity and unity and it’s our patriotic duty to help and protect one another. I can’t wait to be with our families and friends freely again! I want to go shopping, travel and go to a Husker volleyball game without worry and anxiety. I want my team all back together again.”

Michaela Young, Executive Director, Tabitha Foundation
“I’m excited to receive the vaccine so I can feel at ease giving hugs, sharing meals with friends and family, but most importantly seeing my extended family. I am also excited to see Tabitha be able to open to friends and families and see the hugs and smiles in person!”

Robin Schoettlin, Director, Workforce Development
“I want to spend time with my family and let my guard down. I want to get rid of the worry and fear of sickness for loved ones. I want Seniors and their families to see each other in person and hug—instead of only looking at each other through a window or a FaceTime. Ultimately—they need US to do this!”

Jessica Andersen, Assistant Administrator, TNRC
“I believe in doing the right thing, for the right reason. Getting the vaccine is the right thing to do and for so many reasons. Such an easy step to take to halt COVID in its tracks! Why wouldn’t you?”

Michelle Hunter, Director of Nursing, Tabitha in Crete
“We’re in unprecedented times and need to come together to achieve one shared goal—BEAT COVID-19. I want to help be the solution for Residents and my family, so we all can get back to normal. I want to feel safe when I’m at work, at home and protect both my Tabitha family and my family.”

Loretta Wehrs, Director, Medicare MDS
“I want to protect those who would not survive COVID. I can’t wait to be able to visit my dad who is in a nursing home and my sister who is terminally ill in her home. If receiving the vaccine will enable me to do those two things, I will gladly do it!”
-
Ruthi Thompson, Director of Life Enrichment & Volunteers, TNRC
“I see the vaccine as our only true path out of this pandemic. I want the amazing, strong and resilient Residents to be able to finally see and hug their loved ones once again (after almost an entire year). I want all of us to be able to get back to life that involves hugs, smiles, live music and celebrations. I miss all of that so much and this vaccine can give it all back to us!”

Susie Egr, Vice President, Business Development
“Our lives became so different in the wake of COVID-19, and all I can continue to think about is—they will continue to stay that way unless each of us does our part in containing the outbreak with vaccinations. This past year has made me realize how much I physically NEED and appreciate the human touch or seeing a friendly smile. My mental health and energy feeds off it. I also miss traveling with my husband. We look forward to booking our next destination!”
