Dr. Lobb introduced to the board Amanda Jones, Director, Food & Nutrition Services. Ms. Jones shared she had the privilege of meeting Ms. Tiger 25 years ago at Midwest Regional Medical Center (MWMC). Ms. Jones was a dietary intern and Ms. Tiger had just graduated with her Associates Degree in the Culinary Arts from OSU. Ms. Tiger left a huge impression on Ms. Jones with her strong work ethic, kindness and support for her coworkers. After a few years at MWMC, Ms. Tiger left to work at the Moore Medical Center as one of the founding employees in Food Services. She eventually transferred to the HealthPlex campus, but left NRHS for a brief time before returning in 2017. Ms. Tiger has served as a coordinator, a sous chef and is now the operations supervisor focusing on patient services. Ms. Tiger loves cooking. She learned most of her skills and knowledge from her father, a well known local chef of over 30 years. He instilled in her the love of the culinary arts. Ms. Jones shared there are two things you need to know about Ms. Tiger. First – everyone knows Vanessa; from healers, patients and guests. No one is a stranger to her. She shows respect to everyone, expressing kindness and concern for all. Secondly, don’t ever mistake her kindness for weakness, as she is fierce. She is one of the hardest workers at NRHS. She will come in early and stay late to make sure things are the way they should be. She has an unwavering commitment to her job and our patients. When not working, Ms. Tiger like to spend time with her friends in a group called “The Matriarchs”. The group of intertribal women work to empower other fellow women and promote unity. Ms. Tiger thanked everyone for the honor and shared NRHS is her home. Dr. Lobb, on behalf of the Board, extended a heartfelt congratulations and  NRHA Board Minutes 3 January 28, 2026 gratitude to Ms. Tiger.

Dr. Lobb introduced to the board Zhanna Personett, Director, Environmental Services & Dist/Trans. Ms. Personett shared Ms. Cheatwood is one of five siblings, has 3 daughters and 3 granddaughters. Ms. Cheatwood has been a professional “cleaner” most of her life, never turning down a job no matter where it was. She moved to Oklahoma from New York and continued her career in house cleaning. After moving, she realized she needed healthcare and decided to apply at Norman Regional. She has been with NRHS for 7 years in the Emergency department. Her fellow healers share she has exceptional work ethics, is very reliable and has a great positive energy. She plays a vital role in maintaining a clean and safe environment for patients in a high pressure area, directly supporting patient care. She is very dependable, adaptable and always willing to go above and beyond. She communicates effectively and responds to routine and emergency needs, and approaches every task with pride and attention to detail. Known for her kindness, calm demeanor and sense of humor, she boosts morale and creates a welcoming atmosphere for patients and staff. Ms. Cheatwood thanked everyone for the recognition and shared how nervous she was. She shared a story from her life experiences and how she applied it to coming to the board meeting and accepting the honor. She is full of gratitude for the privilege to work here, her health and her fellow EVS coworkers.
