IGHL is proud to announce that Holly Lock, Assistant Director of Residential Medical Services at Pine St ICF, is the June 2025 Employee of the Month.
Holly Lock has been with IGHL for 21 years. Over the past year, Pine St has faced significant challenges, and Holly has been a pillar of support, consistently working with her team to provide 24-hour care and oversight for the most medically frail individuals under our care.
Holly’s commitment goes beyond the daily operations—she works tirelessly to ensure adequate coverage and is always available around the clock to meet the program’s needs. Her coordination between the nursing and residential teams fosters a comprehensive, collaborative approach to patient care, ensuring that no aspect of the residents’ needs is overlooked.
In addition to her regular responsibilities, Holly has stepped into the open QIDP role, ensuring that documentation and administrative responsibilities are meticulously handled. Her ability to manage this while overseeing the care of her team and residents speaks to her strong organizational skills and commitment to the program’s success.
Holly’s leadership and relationship-building skills are also evident in the rapport she has built with the residents, staff, families, and the broader IGHL network. She encourages those she works with to bring their own personalities and joy into their roles, fostering an environment of positivity and mutual respect. Holly is also a CPR instructor, flexing her own schedule when needed to ensure the training of IGHL staff. Holly actively participates in the leadership training program, bringing the knowledge and tools she has learned from this experience to share with her program to help strengthen their skills and abilities.
Furthermore, Holly is a passionate advocate for program improvements. Whether it be in staffing, resident care, or addressing physical plant needs, she is always looking for ways to improve the program and provide the best possible care to those we serve.
Holly Lock’s dedication, leadership, and advocacy make her an invaluable member of our team and a highly deserving candidate for Employee of the Month. We are fortunate to have her at IGHL.
