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.”
