I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Schweizer,
She hired me for my very first job as an Orderly at the Bon Secours Hospital many years ago and was an amazing mentor and leader. My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Gertrude’s passing. She was my boss through many years of my professional life and it was from Gert that I learned the most about compassion and accountability. She was a true mentor and friend.
I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Schweitzer’s passing. She hired me as a nursing assistant at the Bon Secour hospital in 1987 where I went on to work as a nurse for the last 25 years. I was fortunate to see Gert again when I cared for her husband Fred who was our first patient on the Transitional Care Unit when it opened . Mrs. Schweizer was a well respected , important member of our hospital community and will be greatly missed . Heather Rastello RN
It was an honor to work for "Gert" in the 1970's at Bon Secour/Holy Family Hospital. She was a fair and helpful supervisor. On a holiday, she once got me an interpreter from a Chinese Restaurant to help a patient...whatever it took.
