Family Connections: The Tomeks

We like to think of Valley Health as one large family; nothing personifies that more than when family members work together in our health system. This week we highlight the Tomek family!

• Annette Tomek: Physician Recruitment Specialist, all VHS facilities
• Husband: Devin Tomek, Sterile Processing Tech, Valley Health Surgery Center
• Son: Anthony Tenney, Rad Tech, Valley Health Urgent Care
• Son: Clayton Tomek, Sterile Processing Tech, WMC
• Daughter: Kerri Spiker, Pharmacy Discharge Tech, Valley Pharmacy
• Youngest daughter Carmen Tomek also worked for Valley Health for several years

Annette

What do you like about working with your family? We can sometimes carpool and have lunch together. It is so nice when I get a call from another VHS employee who one of my family members has helped and they tell me they did a great job for them. Our family is a very close-knit group, and we like being able to work near each other as it allows an even more sense of closeness.

Why did you choose Valley Health? I started here in Nutrition Services, which is where I met my husband, Devin. I left Valley Health for a little over a year but have been back since 2006. I moved to Human Resources and now I’m in Physician Recruitment. I love the fact that there is always an area to advance to within the system and learn more about what VHS has to offer our patients and our community.

Work With Family

At Valley Health, we are looking for passionate, innovative, and caring people who will each bring their unique skills and perspectives to our workplace. We believe our exceptional team members are the foundation of our culture and key to our success at providing safe, high-quality care with high reliability.

We encourage our caregivers to invite their family, friends and network of dedicated colleagues to work (and perhaps live) in a community like ours!
