Please join us in congratulating Patty Gilmore on her retirement after an extraordinary 51 years at Saint Vincent Hospital. Her journey from cafeteria cashier to Human Resource Manager reflects a career built on dedication, hard work, and meaningful connections.

Reflecting on her time here, Patty shared, “It was fantastic—every job was fun. I’ve worked with so many different people and have loved it.” Over the years, she embraced new opportunities and built lasting relationships across the organization.
