CCMH EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT, HR ASSISTANT

Diana Pyle has been with CCMH for over 21 years and worked in many capacities, mostly on the Administrative side in HR and previously Executive Assistant to the CEO. She likes to say that she “semi-retired” in October 2022 – and she has cut back some days, but when she’s here – she’s always willing to help in any way possible and is extremely knowledgeable given her years of dedicated service to this hospital.
