2016 Steve Schulz Visionary Award Winner!
Running into an extraordinary person at FirstLight isn’t uncommon, but Cheryl Blegen is beyond the exceptional.
Recently, Cheryl was the recipient of the Steve Schulz Visionary Award for her connection to the community and involvement with local law enforcement.
Cheryl has been a member of Kanabec County since 1990 when she was hired on the ambulance crew at FirstLight (then Kanabec Hospital). During the next 20 years, while working with the ambulance team, she was offered an opportunity to train within the pharmacy department to become a Certified Pharmacy Technician. Cheryl has also volunteered as a Sheriff’s Reserve and been active as an Ogilvie First Responder. Helping people has always been a passion of Cheryl’s and when she battled some personal health issues, she still managed to continue to volunteer alongside local law enforcement.
The Steve Schulz Award encourages citizens to get involved in community efforts to reduce crime by bridging the gap between citizens and local law enforcement. Each year, Kanabec County’s BADGES division presents the award. This award is given to a nominated individual who has provided some sort of quality improvement to Kanabec County.
Congratulations, Cheryl! You are a true leader within your community and an asset to the FirstLight family.
Kudos!
