As the Lead House Supervisor, Jones oversees the day to day operations regarding the hospital, specifically working on the communication and workflow between departments. Additionally, Jones is the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) coordinator, teaches the siblings class, and teaches clinicals to RN students.
Her nominator said, “God called Sara Beth to her workplace because she brings a calm demeanor to people who often are going through a tragedy. She also often covers for the employees when their personal lives call them away from their jobs. She truly is a lifesaver in more aspects than one. She will be the first to say she does not do any of this for the spotlight but more so for her workplace so that it can run smoothly and continue to bring top notch care to southwest Iowa. We are all better people to know, work, and interact with such a shining star!”
