Diane Mize Celebrates 50 Years at AMH

Diane has been working in the Digestive Health Center for 35 years now, but her total service time dates back to June 12, 1972, when she started on the old Med-Surg Unit on the first floor of the hospital’s Hatch Wing. “I was driving here in an old Ford Fairlane,” Diane said of her first day. “The hood came loose and flew up on the windshield. I had quite a time getting here, but I managed to arrive on time.” Although that was her first day as a full-time employee, Diane already knew the way to AMH from her home in Gillespie, Ill.
