Cooking up camaraderie at St. Luke's for over two decades

Co-workers say UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Cook, Terri Lamprecht, has been dishing up more than just delicious food for the past 21 years. They say her hard work, selfless nature, and constant desire to help others has added a lot of zest to the kitchen. That’s why many of her co-workers teamed up to nominate her for St. Luke’s Employee of the Month.

Lamprecht was selected as the winner for September and was recognized at a surprise ceremony. The tears running down her cheek and permanent smile during the ceremony were a true testament to her excitement and appreciation. 

“It is the most awesome thing in the world to hear the people I work with everyday say I am a good co-worker,” said Lamprecht.

Lamprecht’s Manager, Nic Lucart, says it is very apparent that co-workers gravitate towards Lamprecht.

“Terri has always put others first and has been an awesome team player from day one. She is passionate about her job and is very loyal to St. Luke’s and what we stand for,” adds Lucart

Other team members describe Lamprecht as hardworking, helpful, kind, dedicated and delightful.

As the St. Luke’s Employee of the Month for September, Lamprecht received a special watch from Greenberg’s Jewelers, her own premium parking space, gift cards to the St. Luke’s Glass Apple Gift Shop, The Parkview Café and a gift certificate to be used at an area restaurant. She will also have the chance to be voted as St. Luke’s Employee of the Year for 2016. That comes with a paid vacation.
