Ann Mitchell, Patient Access Department; Kathy Boll, pharmacy technician, Brown Drug; and Tammy Haggerty, guest services representative, are retiring from Blessing Hospital.
Mitchell, clinic registration and scheduling specialist, Patient Access department, retires on Tuesday, September 2, after 24 years of service.
“Find a job you love to do and it feels as if you are hanging out with friends all day,” she said. “I have loved my job with Blessing, meeting and talking with people all day long. I have always thought of our patients as family and I have treated them as I would my own family.”
Mitchell has nine sisters and seven brothers.
Her career at Blessing has included service as a unit secretary on a medical surgical unit and the Skilled Nursing Unit, and as a patient access representative in Family Medicine at the Blessing Health Center, before joining Clinic Centralized Scheduling and the position from which she is retiring.
Born and raised in Quincy, Mitchell graduated from Quincy Notre Dame High School. She lived in San Diego, California, for 15 years before moving back to Quincy in 2000 and joining Blessing.
Boll retires on September 3 with 31 years of service. She was among the first pharmacy technicians in the country to have earned Certified Pharmacy Technician Advanced status (CPhT-Adv).
Her career at Blessing began as a member of the hospital-based pharmacy team for 16 years. Boll then joined Blessing Family Medicine as a receptionist for nine years. She returned to her pharmacy roots when given the opportunity to open and run the pharmacy service at Blessing’s Be Well Employer Clinic. After five years that service was moved to Brown Drug and Boll moved with it for the last year of her career.
Before joining Blessing, she was a pharmacy technician at the former Medicine Shoppe in Quincy.
Boll is a member of the National Pharmacy Technician Association, National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, and the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board.
“I was very proud to be one of the first pharmacy technicians in the country to have achieved Certified Pharmacy Technician Advanced status, when the designation became possible,” she said.
