Matt Klebenow, Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center

Being the manager of the Industrial Rehab Center, I am able to work with some amazing people. Each day, I witness them go above and beyond in their care of our patients. Once, we had a patient whose ride had forgotten about him. The man lived 45 minutes away in Dwight. Without hesitation, Anthony, a physical therapist, offered the man a ride and proceeded to drive him home. And to add onto the dedication of this employee, it was his day off, and he was merely in the office catching up on some paper work.

Another time, we had a man come in to our office confused. He was trying to find his doctor’s office for an appointment, but was lost. Rather than simply writing out directions, one of my therapists got in his car and had the patient follow him from Shorewood to the east side of Joliet where his appointment was. He also walked him into the building because, due to the man’s confusion, he wanted to be sure he arrived to his destination safely.

These are just two examples of the great things that happen every day at work. My staff truly amazes me with the compassion and care they show our patients. They make me proud to be a part of Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center.
