Chris Riedy received the first PHIL Award on April 19, 2007. Chris is the epitome of an
exceptional Respiratory Therapist and is deserving of much recognition. She has been
with Saint Joseph Mercy Health System for 19 years and is dedicated to her
profession, patients and Saint Joseph Mercy Health System. During high-pressure
emergent situations, Chris reacts with great professionalism and is a calming presence
to those around her.
Chris loves what she does and her care and concern extends beyond her patients. In
her tenure with SJMHS, she has enjoyed being a part of the medical and technological
advances that have helped those with acute and chronic lung diseases live longer with
an improved quality of life.
Chris is an advocate for organ donation and is active member on the Saint Joseph
Mercy Health System Trauma and Gift of Life Committees. In addition, every year
during Season of Giving at SJMHS, Chris organizes the Respiratory Therapy
department’s Adopt-a-Family, and champions the United Way efforts for the department.
Chris was both honored and surprised to receive the PHIL Award, saying, “Everyone
works as a team to do the best thing for the patient. This was possible because of the
great teams I work with.”
