June Mortenson
 June
Mortenson was nominated for March’s Above and Beyond award
by Dr. Thakur. June has worked at Bear Lake Memorial for four
years. She obtained her nursing education through the ISU/Hospital
program and recently graduated with her RN in August. She is
currently working in Dialysis, Acute Care and is also the Hospital
Lactation Counselor. June has two daughters and is very excited
to become a Grandma in July.
June’s dream vacation would
be to go to Greece because of the history, but she would also
be okay going anyplace that is warm. Her hobbies include fishing
and waterskiing. She loves to travel and is excited for her
upcoming trip to Washington D.C. this summer.
June loves to learn and try new
things. She is usually up for any new adventure that comes her
way and would really like to learn how to snow ski. She and Dr.
Thakur have had several discussions regarding her concern of
falling and he keeps telling her to just do it.
June’s love is in Dialysis.
She feels that the morale within the department in amazing and
she is grateful for the bonds that are created with the patients
and rest of the staff.
Zach Phelps, Dialysis Administrator,
raved about June noting that she “has been an excellent
addition to the dialysis staff. Not only does she have excellent
clinical skills, but she continually goes out of her way to make
sure that each patient feels like they are the only person in
the room. She always maintains a positive attitude and brightens
the day of everyone around her with her wit and charm. Bear Lake
Memorial is privileged to have her on our staff, and I am thrilled
to say that she is a member of my team especially.”
