“Julie has been a true professional and valuable member of our team,” said Jean Brosnan, supervisor, Medical Surgical-SCU-Oncology at Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital. “Our patients always were in great hands whenever Julie was around, and she will be missed.”

Her plans for retirement include spending more time with her family.
